Hi

Those of you considering alternatives to MS OS'es.
Think about this .............. unbuntu.
You can run from "live CD" so no changes made to your PC.
Be aware though that when installing to PC.
If using Raid .... don't bother. Not that it is impossible, just mind numbing to overcome problems.
If using SATA it is best to have the HDD first in line to avoid booting problems. These too are solvable, but again taxes the brain to a point where you wonder if it's worth it.
