Hi Lee,
Yes, it installed and ran perfectly the first time. However, the full
install of Ubuntu proved a bit much for that little 333 mhz machine, so
I had to do more or less a custom install - install the minimal Ubuntu
(server install option I think). Apt-get some pieces, get synaptic, and
then selected apps. As far as I can tell, a correct install the first
time....

Hey,
I only said a reinstall might be a good idea as Phil had installed
Ubuntu (which worked perfectly AFAICT, except the MIDI thing which I
think was a config error), then added a Demudi source to his
sources.list which I don't think is supposed to work, and which really
hosed things (lost the network).
So he asked me if a Ubuntu reinstall is the best way to go from here and
I said probably. Obviously don't reinstall if you have data you care
about!
Maybe this was poor advice. However when I was a new Linux user and
really hosed things I often found a reinstall was teh quickest and
easiest way to get back to square one.
I'd actually be quite impressed by any newb who could install a Debian
based system correctly the first time.
