Hi Lee, Yes, it installed and ran perfectly the first time. However, the full install of Ubuntu proved a bit much for that little 333 mhz machine, so I had to do more or less a custom install - install the minimal Ubuntu (server install option I think). Apt-get some pieces, get synaptic, and then selected apps. As far as I can tell, a correct install the first time.... Phil Hey, I only said a reinstall might be a good idea as Phil had installed Ubuntu (which worked perfectly AFAICT, except the MIDI thing which I think was a config error), then added a Demudi source to his sources.list which I don't think is supposed to work, and which really hosed things (lost the network). So he asked me if a Ubuntu reinstall is the best way to go from here and I said probably. Obviously don't reinstall if you have data you care about! Maybe this was poor advice. However when I was a new Linux user and really hosed things I often found a reinstall was teh quickest and easiest way to get back to square one. I'd actually be quite impressed by any newb who could install a Debian based system correctly the first time. Lee
