I really don't know why I took to long to really use Linux except I bought a book back in the early 2000s "Red Hat Linux for Dummies" that had an early version of Red Hat in it and it left a NASTY...

Thanks I used this and it went flawlessly. KuBuntu was just too "busy" for my tastes. I DO like Ubuntu standard 10.4 LTS. Not too "cluttered" and somewhat customizable..using it now!
Don't know...
