Dear SLUGs,<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking about using Ubuntu but am having problems setting up the software to evaluate it. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm trying to look at a desktop Distro circulated by 'Linux User'. I've tried on an ancient PC but it could not cope. I've tried booting an early Intel Macbook with the disk in to access a live disk but to no avail (I'm reluctant to try a partitioned installation on the Macbook as I've read a number of accounts on the web of people who have done this and then being unable to later remove the Distro or the partition.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Please bear in mind that I'm not a coder - I thought using Ubuntu involved a lot of technical knowhow and programming but a colleague at work has recently installed it and keeps raving on about how fast and easy to use it is, hence my curiosity.</div>
