Download the ISO from the Ubuntu site. It was very easy to install, however the updates took quite a while (2 hrs @ 16Mibps).

Setup FreeNX for a fast remote desktop client
When looking at the out-of-box applications, I got interested in the VOIP softphone (Ekiga).It has a Windows client as well, but that was not easy to locate. I got a free SIP address for myself. (sip:cs905s@ekiga.net)
While going through the setup of Ekiga, the NAT detection gave “STUN test result: Port restricted NAT”. Since I didn’t get any meaningful explanation on Google, I opted to enable STUN support. For a headphone, I opted to pull out my Bluetooth USB adapter and hook it up to the Motorola Bluetooth headset. (Lost the manual and found this nice tutorial on the net. I must wait for 2 hours for the headset to charge. I need to figure out how to connect the headset to the USB. Not that simple?Rather easy compared to Windows XP)
Ekiga provides a call out service (diamondcard.us) where I created a divyamahajan account. However it is still on a security hold even after the paypal payment was done.
Eventually, Ekiga did not work.
Decided to throw in the towel and leave it.
