[HLUG] Fwd: Unable to download Ubuntu on my Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 (32 bit)

[Dave Winterton]

Hi Jonathan,
I have a copy of Ubuntu 14.10 from a mag,
and need to do my main shop Thurs. evening so if you are free I will
come and try to install
it, 
yours David
(and I only charge a mug of tea :) )
I am thinking it will take a 64bit system.... if anyone knows
better......
