[Glastonbury] Mini install fest on my laptop

[Greg Browne]

Anyone dare to stick their necks out into the flames, and say why the
popularity of come and the decline of others?

I've avoided Ubuntu because 
a) it is a 3 cd download 
b) I understood that it is based on older packages (maybe that's a
good point from a stability point of view but I just want something
that does the biz? MEPIS does for me but I am hitting some install
issues)
