Thanks! I think that putting Ubuntu on an external drive might work well, since I'm a little worried about Dr. C as a first-time linux user - she's heading off to Cyprus soon, which will limit my ability to provide support... I imagine once I set everything up and show her how to use the terminal and the forums she'll be fine, but I'd be horrified if it didn't work out and she was left OS-less.
