Re: Linux Ubuntu
It took me a while to figure out how you can change the image for the logon screen. You should try it it's awesome. There are instructions somewhere.

Re: Linux Ubuntu
It had at least 1 defect area...
It kept giving me buffer errors when I try to load, and my parents told me not to use it...

Re: Linux Ubuntu
When I first installed Ubuntu I had a copy which made the screen flicker like crazy once it installed I downloaded updates and it works great. Try getting a copy of the original site. If you download it on to windows then transfer on to a disk windows cannot copy some of the files and that could cause one of those errors but for me it was only screen flickering.
