[clug] I want to switch my home computer from M$ Windows XP to LINUX

[Ian Matters]

Hi John.

Ubuntu can be found at

	http://www.ubuntu.com

and the download page is at

	http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Release 7.10 is the current one with a new version, 8.04, to be  
released next month.  A pre-release of 8.04 is currently available.

CD's can be ordered at no cost to you from

	https://shipit.ubuntu.com

When downloading a CD or DVD image make sure that you select the  
correct architecture to match you target machine.

Cheers, Ian
