Welcome to the lists, Chris/RoboNuggie! :P yeash, this is my only desktop, I'm looking to get a laptop soon and I was gunna have a triple-linux boot, but I never got round to it... I guess that the safest option atm is just to wait. I was hopeful that perhaps people knew if the installer had some kind of fail-safe that fixed broken installations hehe... hmm I can wait. I want to play with the new version, but I guess that's also a bad idea during exams. Cos then I won't revise, and I'll be sat in the exam hall thinking about the new things Ubuntu does - not good :)
