Ubuntu didn't get anywhere - the startup install screen would not show, just a blank screen. Tried 32 bit and 64 bit - same I've never known Ubuntu to bomb like that. Especially with an nVidia card. Must be some oddball setup you have there. Or, there's a hardware issue. Almost sounds like the video card isn't right. Maybe not seated correctly? The main problem was no local home network connection (unable to mount location). I had internet connection (unlike the previous time I tried to move to Linux), but no home network. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, but no luck. Maybe next time. What shop you mean ' no home network'? I've got an entire home LAN setup. Windows and Linux. It's not out of the box however. You will need SAMBA for that. At least for seeing/interacting with Windows machines. It's really not that complicated to get that setup. I, or anyone, here can probably walk you through that. You aren't that far from getting a good setup. Seems a bit silly to give up just because of that. You don't need to figure it out on your own. That's why we have a mailing list for. I'll be glad to work with you offlist if you like.
