Finally got Linux to work properly!

After several failed attempts to use Linux on my PC, I have finally got it working properly.

My original attempts via Virtualbox, a live disc and then WUBI installer all failed miserably (WUBI had seemed most promising but after installing without any problem it turned out my modem was not compatible with Linux (contrary to what it said on the modem box!)

After getting a new modem I tried again with WUBI and this time success - Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid Lynx) runs on my PC without any problems at all, and I have to say I am quite a fan of the free operating system.
