I can help out with Auto-login if you give me some details. Scott Duncan,

Did you install a beta release or the newly released RC1 of 8.10? I can help out with Auto-login if you give me some details.

Glad to hear you converted. Some other Windows / Ubuntu application equivalents off the top of my head: IM (google, aol, yahoo, and more) --> Pidgen Google Desktop --> Google Desktop (download .deb package) Google Earth --> Google Earth (.deb package) Also, check out some free first person shooters that run great on Ubuntu http://treesum.vmetc.com/2008/06/15/free-first-person-shooters/ And if any of your readers want to try Ubuntu without modifying Windows then they can install Ubuntu 8.0.4 or newer as a Windows application - wubi install. Best part is that you just need about 8 GB of free space. You don't even have to modify your NTFS partitions! http://treesum.vmetc.com/2008/05/02/install-ubuntu-804-as-a-windows-application/ Duncan,
