I forgot to mention: you can test a lot/all of the options with the
'trial' option: load via USB thumbdrive or CD/DVD.  Doens't load
anything to the computer so no 'residue'.

Some pointers come to mind: earlier verisons of Ubuntu displayed icons
of a keyboard and sort of a stick figure.  I'll admit it took me a bit 
to figure out it meant "hey human! press a key!".  ...Must've read too 
much as a kid and not enough Pictionary.

Another thing is sometimes appears nothing is going on; be patient.  
Check the HDD light for occasional activity and reassurance things are 
OK.  DVD installation was nice because there was a read/write LED that 
flickered.  

Have fun!
