	That is good to know.  I was installing ubuntu linux in my cube and
until I burned a CDR disk it would not boot up. But, now, it is running
ubuntu feisty rather happily. In fact I will probably retire my P3
ubuntu box and have the cube do its job as it should be more energy
efficient (the P3 is a 1U machine).
