I set mine up with fedora awhile back. It was pretty much the same as
ubuntu. The one thing i liked about fedora is you could access the root
account directly. I dont know if they have changed that in the desktop
version of ubuntu. I also tried the server version of ubuntu. I tried like
3 flavors of linus lol. I tried different ios and idlepc vlaues. It is
really quirky trying not to kill the cpu but once you get it is pretty
cool. I found that the ios in the IE .net file and use the second idlepc
value worked the best for me. It runs about 30 to 32 percent fully loaded. I
still personally think server 2003 runs it the best. Just my opinion.
