Mike, welcome to Linux. The LUG and google are great for sorting Linux problems. Better still is a friend with Linux experience. If you've got one of these then go with the distro they're comfortable with. Later when you've got a handle on the basics you can install the distro of your choice. My best advice would be to keep all your user data, aka /home directory, on its own partition. Good luck, -- Rob Stockley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
