Got Ubuntu to work, but not Xandros
I downloaded the photo of New York City from the Internet
and saved it as my desktop background. Cool!
I had to purchase a new WIFI PCI card but i got the Linux box online today! 
woo hoo! I wish I could have got Xandros to work though. It keeps freezing at “Detecting Hardware” and will not finish installing. The onboard ethernet chipset is not supported by Xandros, and my Epson printer is not supported either. I tried several different options to install including using generic VESA video drivers, but it froze at the same spot no matter what I tried.
Ubuntu did not have any installation problems and my Epson Stylus 4800 all in one printer / scanner is supported too! I have been able to install my FireFox updates and Flash Player just fine. I love Ubuntu so far. Best of all it is 100% absolutely FREE! WOW!
