I thought that that was what using Fedora is all about - having a 
problem with it.

I think that we got the Ubunbtu 8.10 disk from Linux format. Put Ubuntu 
8.10 on my laptop, and it generally runs well. Three options for 
booting; Ubuntu 8.10, Winows XP, and Debian 4.0. Network access is 
unstable with Debian 4.0, However. That was one reason why we installed 
Ubuntu 8.10 on the laptop.

Colour can be changed. Mine is blue, with Debian blue logo background, 
in the Ubuntu 8.10 installation.

Only thing weird about Ubuntu (as far as I am aware) is its name. A 
company somewhere in Eurpoe (the Canonical web site says only 
"headquartered in Europe") has a product with an African name, the 
product having originated in Finland (Linux, from the student at the 
University of Helsinki).
