I installed Kubuntu 6.06 without any problems. I was able to connect to the internet and download images etc. but I cannot install anything. I tried installing Firefox but no go. I installed Kubuntu, from the same disc, previously on another computer and it worked fine. Whenever I downloaded to the desktop I got the option to install. This doesn't happen with the current installation. I may still have the earlier installation which I can check against this one. Any ideas what the problem is? One thing I will say for Linux, It's great for motherboards where the drivers are not available. Just install and everything works.On the old computer I thought the sound was gone but it worked with Kubuntu.

Yeah I know, it's rather odd mate.
I cannot understand what has happened to him, and no I didn't frighten him lol.

Hope he is OK. That is the way with forums (fori) if someone just disappears few know why.

He will be off taking snaps somewhere I feel Mc although he would probably garrot me for calling them snaps.
He's quite an excellent photographer.
More here.

I tried ubuntu at the weekend and though it was pretty basic, the interface reminded me of Windows 3.1, not my cup of tea at all.

What kubuntu?

Is it better to look at?

I've tried to run Linux to no avail but Dave it does not in any shape or form resemble 3.1 mate.

I think it depends what version you try, some are pants IMO.

Very true and the gui is not as "polished?" as Windows.
