After reading this thread last month, I went and ordered the Ubuntu 6.10 CD. Got it this week and installed it on my old Dell Laptop. It does work and I can browse with Firefox, but I can't get anything that I download to work. Tried to install Opera and it keeps giving me errors. The help thing is useless. ScottC is right about it not catching on. I'm going to keep at it, but it's a little silly all the work needed to get something installed.
