90 minutes to install Ubuntu 7.10? You must be joking. (or simply lying).
It took me 10 to 15 minutes tops plus about another 10 minutes for the
updates to download and install. It was then fully useable including Open
Office, recognizes my scanner and printer (HP Businessjet) and connected to
the internet and my home network, all straight out of the box. I have my
reservations about Ubuntu (LINUX) but in many ways it is light years ahead
of WINXP.
