Welcome to the lists, Chris/RoboNuggie! :P
yeash, this is my only desktop, I'm looking to get a laptop soon and I
was gunna have a triple-linux boot, but I never got round to it... I
guess that the safest option atm is just to wait. I was hopeful that
perhaps people knew if the installer had some kind of fail-safe that
fixed broken installations hehe... hmm I can wait. I want to play with
the new version, but I guess that's also a bad idea during exams. Cos
then I won't revise, and I'll be sat in the exam hall thinking about the
new things Ubuntu does - not good :)
