I tried very hard to "migrate" from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu) and found it impossible. Literally. I got an earlier form of Ubuntu installed on this computer, pretty screen, and none of the programs worked (wouldn't update, either.) I tried the latest 13.0 by downloading it to my thumb drive. It REALLY wants to be on a disc and won't really install from a thumb drive. Okay, disc in the computer--won't copy. Eventually I think to check file sizes and sure enough, the dummies made a file 84,000+ kb bigger than what a disc holds. Even Windows doesn't do that.
