[WLUG] Ubuntu

[John Wiersba]

 That's true, Clif, and I used to do that.  But nowadays I'd prefer to boot off a USB thumb drive than a DVD - they're easier/faster to create, faster to run, they're ubiquitous, and they're re-usable (re-writable).  Hopefully, it's relatively easy to write a DVD iso to a thumb drive, even for a newbie?

 Not to muddy the waters (much), but another option for casual
use is to download one of the "live" DVDs and boot off that.

The performance will suck - since you're dealing with DVD access
speeds instead of hard-disk access, but it's a way to play with
Linux without reworking your Windows system.
