My practice system is up and running! I'm almost ashamed to say that it went like butter (pronounced "leyk buttah"). I think I could use a few more problems to build my character (and now that I've said it out loud, I bet I'll have them. The gremlins are always listening).
UbuntuServuntu is a Dell Dimension 2400, nearly stock with the exception of an added CDR/DVD drive and 1 Gb of RAM. I've had it for years, and under Windows XP it was like molasses. Any interruption of its thought process in the first 5 minutes after booting caused it to flatten out its ears and drag its mule feet. I did have it set up to dual boot back in the Edgy Eft days of Ubuntu, but alas, I only really needed it for those little things you can only do in Windows. Now I've once again been justified in my general policy of never throwing anything away.
The Dell's a computer that's given me a lot of cussin' practice over the years, but it took to Lucid Lynx like it was born for it. Oh dear, did I just say that out loud?
