Thanks Dave and Mark. From what Mark said I would guess that for now I 
better stick with the packages that I can click and get. The only reason 
I wanted to get RoadMap was to try to get completely rid of Windows. 
That can come later. I think I will watch for an old junk computer in a 
yard sale and put a basic Ubuntu system in it to play with this make and 
make install stuff.

Thanks again. I'll see you Tuesday night. I have Kubuntu 8.04 with the 
KDE4 desktop installed in my laptop and will have it along with me if 
anyone hasn't seen KDE4 yet and would like to.
