Mint is nice, but when I put it on this machine about one in three
times it would not recognize the USB keyboard and mouse. Damned
difficult to log in under those circumstances. After this happened
three times on one boot I decided there was a problem. Mine or
theirs, i don't know, and don't care.<br>

problems will I encounter installing KDE onto

<br>
The reason is an echo Pa Kettle's noting of
problems with Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
In my case, it is manifests every time I boot
Ubuntu and it tells me it had a problem that
must be reported. he problem, according the
message, which I am paraphrasing as
Unity-settings-utility has had a problem. When
I did a web search I find that problems with
this interface have existed for four or five
years. Seems that they either aren't
interested, or aren't capable of fixing it.
Perhaps the utility needs to be replaced with
something else that will work. <br>
<br>
Ubuntu has also mandated that I install an
extra external fan as its demands on the
system as it seems that it heats the whole
system up to the point where it locks and
becomes totally unresponsive.<br>
<br>
Not ready for Prime Time, in spite of the
prostelyzations of the AZ Loco group.<br>

After a few seconds or sometimes
minutes a message pops up and
states “Ubuntu has a problem and

This had happened on 3 different

it’s not the CPU. Mint works and
worked fine on all three. I
