Ubuntu install problem

[Judd Pickell]

If you haven't gotten the unofficial cd for Ubuntu I would seriously
recommend it.. Tons of things that are missing from the normal Ubuntu
as well as the ability to enable all the repositories.. Ubuntu Starter
Guide http://ubuntuguide.org/ is the best place to start and get it..

Sincerely,
Judd Pickell
