Hi Bruce,
NO, it's a simple replacement from the originally installed LinPUS !!!
Googeling I only found negative feedbacks to LinPUS !!
As a newbie I enjoy Ubuntu since about a month and
suggested a replacement with 7.10 Gutsy ...
... and now if LinPUS or Ubuntu:
Both are NOT coming up to a user login ...
both are coming with this initramfs prompt !
End of my latin ;-(
Cheers, svobi
