I'm normally not the type to respond to my own posts, but noticed the
following error:

That should be that you won't be able to run 4.0, but you should be able
to run 3.2. I haven't been getting much sleep lately -- CS classes,
programming for work, and hacking Linux have all taken their toll. :)
BTW, I own both versions and would be willing to sell them, only becuase
Linux is so Cool :). The two versions are against one license, so you
would be legally bound to run only one or the other version of the OS, at
least at the same time. (No copies on different computers.)
If you're interested, make an offer. I'd need to verify that this is legal
under MWCs license (i.e. transfer of license).
