Well I took the plunge...bought a second hand Dell 3.2GHz 512 Mb (was 
meant to be 1Gb - but I can upgrade that no problem) 160 Gb HDD 
computer.

And decided to try BT4 -- if I don't get on with it then may try 
something else...

Found it quiet easy to get my TP-Link WiFi card to work (once I 
learned WiCD GUI - missed the little arrow for encryption).

The only thing that I feel a bit uncomfortable with is logging in as 
root (don't know if this is normal with BT4 - any ideas?

Also still have the "install.sh" on the desktop despite already being 
installed.

Feel excited -- new horizons!
