Tim Webster,
Hello, when you do apt-get update, I think you may face some problems 
about authentication error.
At first, do you modify your source list? If you don't modify it but 
still have that problem, i don't know why.
If you have modify it, you may have a look at this link:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AptAuthenticationInstructionsForHoary
when you apt-get update, please check the error message, you may find 
some characters like "2wd23dq34sfgwer3", look at the link i mentioned 
and you will know how to deal with it.
