New question #77289 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77289

Firstly, my decision to switch to Linux comes because of an unrelenting getting my GPU's to work with Vista Ultimate 64.  Specs are as follows:

i7 920
EVGA X58 mobo (SZ2F Bios version)
12G Patriot DDR3 1600 RAM
3X BFGTech GTX280H2OC (Driver v186.18)
Silverstone Zeus 1200W PSU

... and, oh yeah... Vista Ultimate 64.

I found a solution to the driver issue, for said cards, in other parts of the Ubuntu forums, but it was (obviously) Ubuntu-specific, so I opted to finally get off my duff and make the switch I'd been thinking about for a while.

Here's the current difficulty:  When I begin the Live CD install, from bootup, I get all the way to "Computing partition size" with the completion bar reading 100% before it's even begun, and then the system will not go any farther.  I let it run last night, thinking maybe it was simply taking longer than my frequently limited patience, and when I woke up this AM, it was still at the same screen.

Have I just missed an answer in the help section, or is it likely that something in my PC is just horribly, horribly mangled?
