I can hardly wait for my Ubuntu CD to come in the mail.
If you want something good, get Fedora Core 5, it's much better and offers a lot more.
It's not free. Looking over the screen shots for Ubuntu, everything I need is there.

Fedora Core 5 is free, all you need to do is download the ISO images and burn them to CD.

Select the version you need.




I'll try it.

Agreed, Fedora Core 5 is excellent. Try a few and see which distro you like the best. If I'm not mistaken Alias, you are on dial up. One gotcha to look out for is that Linux cannot run a winmodem, so if that's what you use to dial up with, you will need to replace it before you are successful. Good luck!

On cable but I do use my fax modem to receive and send faxes. Will that be a problem?

Alias

Along as your fax modem isn't a soft modem or winmodem, then no not a problem. I guess the best thing you can do is be aware beforehand and test it. Good luck.

It's an Aztech SoftK56 Data Fax PCI Modem.
