Gee...and then there is me....I ordered an Ubuntu disk to install the 'fabled Linus' OS in a partition to check it out...ZAP!...screwed the pooch royally with that crapola. And of course, the Linux acolytes never get around to telling ya how hard it is to remove it from your system. "Unistall" prog?..."Hey...why? You'll never need it!"
Ubuntu...its worth everything you pay for it!.
And yes, I know, some people swear by it. I'll just be one who swears at it.

And of course, the Linux acolytes never get around to telling ya how hard it is to remove it from your system. I had that experience myself with an Ebay purchased computer. I don't remember how I managed to kill off the MBR, seems like two or three Windows 2000 disk formats. I've never had much luck with Ubuntu. I've tried every new release for the last couple of years now, and I'm never happy with it.
PCLinuxOS for me these days. It just works. Best distro for Windows users to cross over to.
