Well, actually, I think I'm reinstalling the Lab this week with Ubuntu 
10.10 32bit Desktop edition.  Its Midterm Week, so I can get some stuff 
done in there without peeps in my hair all day!  I'm thinking of 
downgrading from 64bit to 32bit as I've been running 64bit for a year 
now and see no real benefit.  However, I do find it difficult to 
install certain utilities such as flash and java in Firefox.  So, I 
downloaded the 32bit ISO for Ubuntu and the 32bit binaries for SAGE.  
I'll try to install SAGE as you suggest after reinstalling Ubuntu.
