Edubuntu Linux broken?

I have not been having good luck with Edubuntu Linux.  The 3 server CD images I downloaded had errors so it installed with errors.  I managed to get an installing a live CD download to install, but it did not install with the Thin Client server I wanted to use with Edubuntu.  So, I tried adding the package with the server.  As I noted in a previous posts, it did not “just work” “right out of the box” as  some forums said it should.  I even ordered a free server CD from Edubuntu, but it installed with errors.  The CD did not have errors, which means: a) the image is broken b) the Edubuntu is broken or c) my hard drive is dying.  I hope is none of the three, especially c), but I still can’t get a clean install of the thin client server.  Now my LiveCD Edubuntu won’t install either (I/O error #5), which I suspect means the work . . . It’s the hard drive.  I really want Edubuntu to work, but I am about to give up on it as a thin client solution.  I’m going to try a full reformat of the hard drive and give it one last try at a clean install.  After that, I might try OpenSUSE again.

Any advice?
