Ubuntu - Part 2

It took about 2 hours to download the .iso via the torrent, and about 20 minutes to burn it to a CD using Sonic Recordnow (apparently my optical drive is none too speedy). In part 3, I'll try the install on my aging but still mostly-functional spare Thinkpad R30. Its got 256 meg of RAM, a 20 gig drive, and a broken LCD. After kid #3 dropped it and broke the LCD, I never was able to get Windows working again, despite hooking up an external LCD. But Linux has worked just fine on the external monitor.
