Just what I was going to say. I've had nothing but grief over the years 
trying to get ''nix to run on PB machines.  Even changing to WinXP was 
hell.  Ubuntu is the first one I got to run properly and that is on a 5 
year old machine.

The best results I've had are using parts that are a year or two old, 
normally bought in sales as well so making them even cheaper.
