So, turns out the conflict between my shiny new PC and linux only went as deep as the graphical front-end used by the installer programme. It's possible to download an alternate version with a text-mode installer, which works fine. Well, worked on the third time of asking.
Of course, in linux-land 'fine' is relative. So far:
My usb audio device works intermittently, and not at all with flash in firefox
The wireless (PS/2) keyboard fails to register every other keystroke
The best linux-based multi-track studio "installs" itself without leaving any trace of its presence to enable me to boot it.
This is a shame, because apart from those niggles, it's all been nicely pluggin-an-playin' all the things I'd want it to. It's also nice to get to play around in a terminal window from time to time. Takes me back to my youth....
