There are a number of variants of the Ubuntu distro to take into account your processor types.

As for Windows XP off of a USB drive - sorry, mate, I don't know - I don't use Windows if I can help it.

Thanks much.

I guess I'd need one of those multi operating system shells, too. Wheee.

Appreciate your thoughtful inputs.
