Thanks Vanblah. Got everything installed and running. Figured out the remote desktop stuff. I am still working on connecting from a XP computer to the ubuntu computer though. I got VNC to load up the desktop but it seems to freeze soon as it loads.
The hardware I have not figured out how to install is tethering with my Blackberry 8830 Alltel. In xp I used Quicklink mobile but I havnt found a way to do that with ubuntu. It might end up being a deal breaker. I travel alot and sometimes thats my only connection to business with.
Also havnt gotten my MCE remote to work yet. Spent afew hours today working on with no luck. I got it to say in the terminal when I hit botton on the remote that I hit each botton. But it wont control any of the media players. So I am still working on that.
Also my PCMCIA bluetooth card is giving me fits to. Ubuntu doesnt seem to even notice its in.
