Then 12 should work fine on the 1000.

I installed Lubuntu on sda2 (D drive) and it works great.

Very quick, does most things except for the fancy bells and whistles
you find on 12.  I like those fancy bells and whistles.

I'd installed ubuntu in a situation like this before except for that
unidentified partition.  I was not sure what to make of that.  Thanks
for the assistance
