To Ubuntu or not to Ubuntu; that is the question.

Thanks VT,
I forgot that my network is all hard wired, I don't see the need for me to bombard myself with a frequency close to microwaves when I can have a better connection using wires. This is a personal preference, I expect criticism for it, I don't use Wifi and tend to forget it!
Regards, Matthew
vtsteam:
Mattinker, can't see why anyone would crticize you over that!
I just mentioned the wifi modem as an example, and in case David already had that, since the cable companies tend to provide them as a matter of course here. They can be used as routers via cable if they hve enough network ports, and i believe it is also possible to turn off the wifi with a setting if you log in locally (via cable).
You could also unscrew the antenna. The box is shielded.
And, of course, cable routers are widely available, etc.
mattinker:
Just to be clear, my Wifi is switched off!
vtsteam:
Yup, I knew that. I meant you as in "one." Writing mainly to help David.
DavidA:
Thanks for that.
I wasn't aware that the routers had multiple hard-wire outlets. I'll have to look closer at my Virgin box.
I'll let you know how I sort it all out.
Dave.
