Thanks Joe,I've ordered one of the Ubuntu disks for my back up computer.
That computer only has WindowsME so Ubuntu should make it a lot more up to date.
I have the recovery disks for the ME Computer should I find that Ubuntu's not as good as it looks.
Once I recieve the disk and upgrade the ME I'll let you all know my opinion.

I've found the best browser is Netscape Navigator. That is freeware and I find it better than Mozilla firefox which I also have. I've also got Opera, cant understand anyone using Internet explorer pile of shite.
