I don't necessarily need to *share* home
I just need a shared place to put its contents while I rebuid the Linux install.

Just D/L the Ubuntu Disk and Re-install from there.
First though move anything you want to the XP partition or shared partition.
Just tell it to re-format the paritions you are currently using for Linux ONLY.
Once you do that, it'll work.
It should also find the XP installation and add it to the boot menu.

I've got some (fairly) recent Ubuntu CDs
I'll use those, then just update/upgrade. Probably be less than dl-ing the whole .iso.

Get the entire ISO.
Much better detection and many otheer things. Please D/L the ISO.
There are some issues upgrading to Dapper from Warty, Breezy etc...
Just get the ISO. Can you do it somewhere other than home? Work? Library? etc?

Pretty sure I don't have a burner at work
The security restrictions here are ... well, we put the "strict" in "restrictions". I'll call the library, see what they say.

What's the diff?
I know Kubuntu is using KDE instead of the default Gnome. What's Xubuntu?
As for my preference, I still want to stay as "vanilla" as possible. Until now that's been plain ol' Debian. With Ubuntu becoming the "desktop Debian" I'll stick with that.

I've found the actual best Kubuntu
is actually Ubuntu with kubuntu-desktop installed via apt.
That way you get all the goodness.

Re: What's the diff?
Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE as its desktop.
