- Both of these computers have had Ubuntu installed before. The Qube had 10.04 for several years, and I was most happy with it.  I only decided to upgrade as it's no longer supported.
- I wish I hadn't bothered as it's been nothing but trouble ever since.  I liked 10.04, but Unity is horrible, I've tried 11, 12, 13 and now 14, and I'm now considering moving away from Ubuntu.
- I've downgraded to 12.10, which is also no longer supported, but the most recent version which will run successfully.
