Thanks but that was all ActionParsnip there, i just gave a quick link to
help action his answer ;)  As ActionParsnip pointed out the Official Cd
are hugely different only in the packaging and the nice refined,
soothing print on the top-side.  It does help to use the official cd
though because it impresses people more, especially at work ;)

I'm sorry you had to go back to Windows but most of us have a working Windows somewhere as part of a dual-boot.  It might be worth installing like this

oh and then work through this (copy&paste is handy;) )

This allows you to gradually adjust to linux and to gradually fix things to work perfectly on your hardware, here's a guide to quickly scroll through to get ideas

and another guide to act as a look-up table for quick reference

You will probably find some tasks so much faster in linux that it makes up for time lost due to rebooting but even so it's worth batching up similar types of jobs so that you can get a lot done in one before rebooting into the other OS

Good luck and regards from
