Thanks for your help. I've been
brought up on MS. Just tired of their attempts at dominating the pc world. I did
try to download and install the desk top version on the server but with ms home
server I am unable to get into anything as the "trial version" has expired.
Through out the years I've needed
help on other ms products, I have never gotten this much help from ms. This is
great!!! I hope to someday be able to return the favors!!

Hi Bob,
I'm gonna
take a stab here...but it sounds like you're trying to install
the 64bit
edition on a 32bit PC. That's what

your cpu"
says to me.
Were I you, I'd confirm that the
processor on the 'server' is either 32
bit or 64 bit and move towards
installing the appropriate Ubuntu server
edition both available from

Bob,
Another
thought. Unless you're Linux shell-savvy, you might want to install the
Ubuntu desktop version and then install your server and file sharing
applications.
