[Moodle] wanted Ubuntu experts

[Rob Rankin]

Hi Suz,

I don't fit the expert label but from experience the following might be
your best option:

1. re-establish the Windows system - preferably with the original
Windows XP CD.
2. set up your printer, network, Internet settings as required.
3. go to http://wubi-installer.org/ and download latest Ubuntu version
and run the installer as an exe file.
4. you can have a dual boot system with a minimum of fuss!!!!
5. hubby can play on Windows and you're moving forward with the rest of
the world (except DEECD)

Cheers,
Rob

PS If you have a better offer please post it to the Moodle list
