Added note: I hate to admit this, but after 12 hours messing around with
Ubuntu on a 3.2GB (not 3.8GB as I originally reported) drive I
reinstalled Win2KP on the system (722MB on install) and returned the
system. Xunbuntu was slow to boot, slow response on everything, and
basically unacceptable. Bear in mind that this is coming from a guy that
regularly runs Ubuntu on a 300Mhz/256Mb system with little problems...
