No. The system has been running for a day, very stable, very fast. I highly recommend this if you do not yet own a linux box. it is really fun to add a different box to your winPC. Another advantage, if your winPC crash, you can still bootup USB and salvage the files before reformat the HD. I look at it as another security blanket. Another comment, I like the default player on the ubuntu 8.10, it allows manual scanning of a video, much more faster than and elegance than VLC. Surprise.

Just for you Laughing Man, I boot up, reboot, turn on, turn off, several times with the USB, or just the bare winPC, absolutely NO any ill side effect, so far........... 12 plus hrs has been cranking and it is running fine.

The system is running real fine. Not the user though, please help:

1) I accidentally press a different language upon bootup, and it sticks! I reboot it, it sticks with the foreign language. How do I switch the display language back to USA-Eng? and the fonts?

2) I installed on flash and it runs. No password, no log in. However, when I want to switch to different user, it asked for a passwd. How do i re-set a password that I did not initially set? Does pendrivelinux.com installation or ubuntu has some sort of default password?

3) the prompt sign is ubuntu$ubuntu. Whoami returns ubuntu. How does one add user to this acct, say I would like to add bun and from now on, sign in with bun rather than ubuntu.

Edit: it asks for a different language upon reboot, but you have to log in with a password, which I do not know what password has been set............. :-(

Edit: I was able to SSH into my tablet, but how does one transfer files, I mean, how to copy files from tablet to my ubuntu box or back and forth. Under winPC, I use winscp. Under ubuntu, scp is not recognized.
TIA,
