Thanks Al, you confirmed what I was thinking. Even though I've only heard good things about Gutsy I'd still feel more comfortable using the current version. I think I'll end up burning a few disks and also taking my laptop along with the iso files -- that way if anyone wants a copy I can quickly burn one off. And thanks too for the idea about the photos!
