The last barrier to ditching MS completely is two-fold.
One - updating my Garmin Nuvi Satnav (the web updatyer apparently is
only for Windows) and secondly back-up and restore of my Nokia mobile
via Nokia PC Suite.
There seem to be one or two sync apps for Nokia - anything to be
recommended?

I'm going to download Fedora 11 tomorrow and see whether that's got the
right kernel modules and drivers.
Update, for anyone interested:
Fedora 11 has the linuxwacom 0.8.2.2 driver, which doesn't work with the
Intuos4. Looks like I'll have to wait till Ubuntu 9.10.

I just wish that other computer manufacturers did this

Back to my scrambled screen system - I've been functioning via Live User

Hi Rob Neil,
I have no problem accessing my hard disc from Live DVD - I can read and
write everything from the disc once I've set myself up as a new user. As
far as I'm aware, everything is in one partition - in other words, no
partitioning of the hard drive.

This guide might be helpful when coming to reinstalling too, it explains
how to install Ubuntu by creating a separate home partition. It's aimed

is pretty much the same.
Hope this helps

Thanks Rob,
I think your bits about backing up /home is something I've already done
