Robert,
Hi, Well... you should definetly come to the thursday clinics. We can help you
in person then. Caldera 1.3 is a bit old these days, maybe we could hook you up with
something a bit more current. We have experts in Mandrake, SuSE, Debian, and Slackware
(as well as other distro's, however with the previously mentioned distros you will
find lots of help!). We have demo cd's of most distributions, so you can pick one you
like :)
Clinics are held at PC-Training Center on Thursday nights around 6pm.
