It took the better part of eight hours, but I'm now the curious and interested owner of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, "Precise Pangolin" (the P entry in Linux's longstanding alphabetical animal naming scheme--my previous O/S was Lucid Lynx so I've skipped M, N and O), and my backups are restoring now. The microphone and recording problems are fixed! Everything works again! \o/

The new operating system takes some getting used to, but it's extremely good-looking and quite fast. There's really very little left in Ubuntu that's uber-geeky (though I did have to do a couple of command-line operations this afternoon), and for the first time I can imagine Linux as an OS for everyday home computer users.

Now to treat myself to an episode of Lewis (thank you, emungere, for tempting me into it--because I needed another show to watch!).

Now I'm envisioning an animated GIF is a caption of "takes some getting used to, but it's extremely good-looking and quite fast" with the relevant fannish images.
