    Its lookin to take me... just under two hours and i've already got 48 MB downloaded. I'm only getting around 50-60 KB/sec though. I don't know why the download is so slow. Shouldn't DSL be faster than this?

    You guys are like the cool guys that race by me on the freeway like I'm not even moving.

    It took a horrendous amount of time to download it. It's not that impressive once you get it, but it will probably get better with time.

    yeah, I opened it and didn't do anything w/ it other than test that it works. It was just Ubuntu under XP, but slow. I probably won't use it much unless i want to test something out in Linux land or play around in command line. The two apps i used most under Ubuntu, Firefox and Pidgeon, are both on windows anyway.

    I was wondering if they had a portable version of Ubuntu... I'll have to download it in a few months after it's been worked on some more.

    TBH, its not all that good, you can't install much, very limited drive space, slow, if you really need linux but don't want to partition your machines drive, use wither WUBI or VM,

    Speaking of which, YAY, im posting this through Arch Linux on a virtual machine, took me two days sofar to get it working, but by got was it worth it, its just want i want from a linux distro, leave out what i don't want, and only add what i need,

    Just installed XFCE4, currently installing open office, the only down side sofar is theres no GUI for pacman, im gonna look for one though, im sure someone has made one
