Assimilate!! That is all.

Having now done a Ubuntu install, I have noticed one major different in the Kernels that was used...

Fedora used a SMP enabled Kernel (HT enabled)
Ubuntu used a non-SMP Kernel (HT disabled).

So I think its probably fair to assume that it was HT that was causing my problems on FC5 !

but being i386 your gonna wanna update it anyway

in synaptic search for linux-image

/me is waiting for pasta to boil.

LOL you do have spare time

technically you only needed to click the linux-image-686 to keep the kernels up to date

doubt youll have any troubles with ubuntu - unless you mess

Time for Easy Ubuntu or if its strictly a server, Webmin.

http://www.webmin.com/

Install webmin by opening a terminal, then typing "sudo apt-get install webmin" or use the Synaptic package manager.

easy ubuntu learns you nothing though and most is quite easy to do anyway  

Learning is for needlepointing hippies.
