Interesting. I'll take a look at that if my computer continues to act old and kirmudgeony. Getting CDs burned is kind of a hassle for me right now. Only reason why I got Ubuntu at all is it was the only version of Linux at the library with the word "Beginner's" in the title and a disc in the back of the book. Annoying that they had 15 copies of Sharepoint manuals but only two battered old Linux books, one of which was just a command dictionary.
