Ubuntu!

Yay! Successful installation!

I had to download and install the "text installer", rather than using the Live CD - it looks like my old PC just didn't have the RAM to run the Live CD (192Mb).

It was pouring when I woke up this morning, so an Ubuntu installation seemed like a good thing to do this morning. Now that it's installed, time to go out and do something (I'm off for a paddle).
