Just introducing myself. I'm lwr32. I'm a iMac and Macbook user. I've got the
last iMac that
came out before the aluminum iMacs came out and my Macbook is 2 months old.
I've got an
old, slow, Compaq Presario 900 that came with Windows XP on it. I've
partitioned the drive
and put Ubuntu on it.

I really like Ubuntu and want to learn more about it. That's why I joined this
site. My email
comes to my Macbook right now. Once I get to know Ubuntu, I'll get my email
from it too.
My hubby put Upuntu v7.04 on the Compaq last year. Last night I started playing
with it and
decided to upgrade to the latest version. Right now I'm in the middle of
upgrading to v7.10
and will upgrade to 8 when it's available. The upgrade is taking forever. The
computer is
telling me 10 hours 55 min to complete install. I'm running the computer on an
ethernet
cable that's run through Apples Time Capsule. I don't know why it should take
so long to
install. Any ideas?
