Small fry, Ubuntu

Ubuntu update: I've successfully installed ubuntu! After giving all of the misc. hard drives and DVD-roms I've collected over the years a good test run, I settled on adding an 80 gig to my Windows box and running Ubuntu off of a 6 gig, paired with a 40 gig HD and DVD-R. The install was a little troublesome, trying to get the boot sequence in the bios correct. I disconnected the 40-gig during the install, got a successful boot off of the hard drive, and re-connected the 40 and it works!

Now, I really have no idea what I'm going to do with it. It's sitting under my desk right now, doing nothing....

The Fish!!!! Alex and I recently had babies! 13 sunburst mollys to be exact. Unfortunately mom didn't make it through childbirth, but the "mistress" who has all of dad's attention is currently EXTREMELY pregnant. I've been watching her most of the night, hoping to see the little buggers get pooed out, but no luck. She just swims around with the male trying to hump her. Shameless...

2 of the 3 guppies are pregnant, too. The blue tailed female looks the most pregnant, and the yellow tailed one does, too. You can actually see the babies' eyes inside the mom's bellies. It's very cool.

Since we're expecting 50-60 baby fish in the next week or two (total), does anyone have a tropical freshwater tank and want some babies? We've got more than we can handle.
