Anyway, I now think about LINSPIRE.

Do you need to set up Ubuntu as a server? If you don't, then no wonder it
blew you away.

Installing Ubuntu is as easy as installing any windows version. Check that
your hardware is compatible first. Either check the ubuntu hardware
database or simply run the liveCD with everything attached that you
physically have. This will tell you of any incompatibilities such as
wireless cards, network interfaces, card readers, printers, scanners etc.

Once you are satisfied you can get as much of your hardware to run, click
the install icon.

Check out and digest the following guide.....
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
(ignore the advanced section unless you really feel like getting your
hands
dirty)

Enjoy. It's a good OS. There are times when you'll need to tweak it to
your
liking, however.

Regards.

NO I don't need to set it up as a server! You give me new hope. Forgive me,
but I can't just take your word for it. Anywhere on the web I can find this
out that you would recommend? Thanks very much. -Richard
