Your right CAPTAIN AWESOME,I was just being lazy and not trying to set up Ubuntu since I was just giving it a trial run.
One thing that I did notice was Ubuntu seemed to take alot longer to load some apps on my 500 MHZ POS.
The new Knoppix is in the latest issue of linux magazine can't wait to give that one a run

I'm not the most experienced computer user,since I've only been using them a couple of years.I do have more experience with linux than windows though and I certainly know I like it better.
