Graphical like what fedora etc. uses. I'm not used to installing in an ncurses-like installer. I had enough trouble just getting the jdk installed XD.

I've got an old P4 dual core 2.8ghz with 3 gigs of ram and a 40 gig harddrive. Do you think Ubuntu 10.04 would run fine on it?

Shouldn't be a problem, i have it running on an old laptop 40gb hard drive, 2gb ram, 1.6Ghz celeron M. Runs without a problem with the advanced desktop graphics turned on.
