Thanks to all who replied. Here is a composite reply instead of wasting bandwidth with individual ones. Hope no one minds!
Anne suggested waiting a couple of weeks for the "Official" download edition to be available. I'll do that, Anne. Thanks for the information that there are not the pop-up adverts I wondered about in the download edition. False alarm!! I always first burn my home directory to a CD and then do a clean install rather than an upgrade. For me, it is much safer than risking an upgrade - although others get away with it. In the past and, I assume for version 10, an individually burnt CD with all the updates/bug patches to the date of ordering it, has been available from: www.linuxemporium.co.uk I have bought them several times and they have saved me much time, trouble and cost, trying to download the updates with my modem. Thanks again, all, for your replies. Keith
