I need something with a tad more poke, otherwise it would have probably done the job.

Can I suggest the MSI Wind (or rebadged as the Advent 4211). Mine runs Hardy with no probs - pretty decent specs and I find it speedy, the real plus is that it is ultra-ultra portable Certainly worth considering if you're not looking for a desktop replacement per se, but something that you can use out and about Pete --- Check out the blog @ http://thelondoneer.blogspot.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I tried the Exeter branch but there is another one near me too. Certainly worth checking out I guess.

I did see a HP in Tesco's yesterday although they were out of stock. I think they were about £350 and had the Athlon X2 CPU, is this the one you mean?

Compaq/HP seem pretty good - the widescreen HP Pavilion (15.4", 120GB h/drive, Vista Home Premium, 2GB memory etc.) that Tesco sells at about £370 seems to work well enough, including wi-fi.
