I had my computer wiped of Windows XP and installed ubuntu yesterday.
Neither Firefox or Evolution could reach my service provider. I re started
with an ubuntu live CD. This time Firefox worked fine but Evolution again
retuned messages saying that my password was refused!. I had previously
downloaded the installation CD myself. A bunch of programs just would not
open so something is badly amiss - ideas anyone?

And what is with this log in and password crap?
Also it is slow to load or do anything, much slower than XP and even slower
than my old Mac (OS 9,2) is this the way it is?

Thank you
KJ
