Oh, I'd suggest waiting for Hardy if you're planning this by the by. It's coming along really well, Alpha-5 was really good but having upgraded to Alpha 6 today things are really starting to slick up. Everything just looks and feels slicker and faster.

Hardy is out soon right? I may just do that, whats it like upgrading from within Ubuntu, or tbh since i've got frig all on the install, is it better to do a fresh install?

Ooooh Hardy is LTS too isn't it?

Good good good!

Hmmmm bit of an issue it seems, so VMWare server install went swimmingly, everything seems to be working fine, installed XP prof and have it up to date. Downloaded windows printer drivers, but i can't get my virtual XP install to "see" the usb printer, is this gonna be a task? I've added USB to the devices on the VM theyre installed in the task manager. But when running the driver installation it asks to turn the printer on and plug in and wait for automatic port detection... Nout happens i can't see the printer labeled as a removable USB device in the VM menu

?
