Well.. how funny,
I had ordered a free Kubutu 9.10 Live CD a months ago and it arrived today.
So I have been installing and setting it up on my second hd as a dual boot system.

I always have to edit the boot menu, sine we use auto start up and mostly use windows.
new Linux installs always put linux as the default boot up.
found a boot start up manager so it is much simpler to set the OS you want to start up first and the time delay for making a choice if you want to.

have to download all the updates tomorrow, might take awhile, then I can play more with it.
