And to compound the hair splitting, being worthy is not necessarily the same as being good. The Ubuntu folks graciously sent me 40 CD sets which I have been handing out to friends and family. But I can hardly become an advocate for Ubuntu, as I would have wished, if I can't get it running myself. BTW I noticed on the web forum *other* 64-bit questionners who were also unanswered. Is there some secret problem with the AMD64 bit version? Gentoo, SuSE, and Knoppix all work great on my Athlon 64/motherboard, but not Ubuntu. Thx, Richard Morten W.
