Total Catastrophe - On Old Puter Now

Burke,

You forgot mention that Ubuntu is one of the easiest to install and use!!

And if you have MS software that you just can't live without you can install VM or Crossover for linux http://www.codeweavers.com/products/

Is this any better than Linspire? I tried that a while back and it was a real disappointment.

Rich,

I think that it is much better. Everyone has to understand going into Linux that it is NOT Windows!! So, with that in mind, I think that most people would like it. It is not what they are used to, but just give it a chance and they might like it.

Always try the 'Live CD' first to see what you think and remember that an actual install will run much faster.

Downloading now....I guess I'll give it another try. All I have to do now is throw another box together to put it in!
I always seem to get lost when you have to start inputting code. Never really did take the time to understand where to's and why for's of it I guess.
Can't dump the Windoze box, the wife would never forgive me!

No Ira....I'm not buying a Mac!!

I'd like to run my own server from here but my ISP won't allow it...would save me about $300 a year.
