Beginner Upgrading

[prush at my.devry.edu]

Hello Kubuntu users:

I ordered a kubuntu 8.10 from amazon for a couple of 2004 E-series
CPUs ripe-clean I got from DeVry because they upgraded some computer
rooms.  

 

One I has the Kubuntu in it, and the other I was going to turn
into a NAS and plug some external hard drives to it.  But I was thinking
it might be easier to get the Ubuntu server version for the other CPU. 
Right now I have them side-by-side, and my plan was to plug both into my
wireless belkin router on my desk since they are not too wide.  But I was
also thinking of connecting the extra one to my TV and attaching a wireless receiver to it
instead or running a long Ethernet cord across my bedroom to my router.  Opinions on preferred network topology in this scenario? I've attached my idea from Visio. 

Also I finally figured out how to get rid of the Open Office
2.4 and put the 3.0 in there, but I didn’t like the GUI’s and it worked better
in the terminal.  So, I prefer advice that way for my updating question.

 

I tried adding the deb url software updates for Ooo3 and I
got broken links?  Is this a known problem?  I had to download the
Ooo3 version off their website to get it to work right. 

 

Update questions?

My system says it’s 4.1KDE.  Am I suppose the update
that?   Sudo ???

 

Once I figure out how to do Twilight Hack for the Wii, I
would also like to add that to my network, so  I need to figure out some
things. 

 

One Kubuntu CPU

One Empty CPU – server?

One Vista laptop 

One wannabe hacked Wii

 

I want the Kubuntu CPU to be the head honcho. 

 

Should I just wait for 9.04 before doing too much
customizing or is that upgradable?  

 

Where are software sources for Kubuntu?  I only got
mediubuntu so far.  And the one with Ooo didn’t work right, so, are their
others?

 

Thanks
