<snip> > and lastly D)Is there anything I should know? Hi Eric; I'm not too good at linux but I was going to make an attempt to install it about a month ago. In my travels I found this: 1: MK linux requires less space to install...maybe only a gig or two. 2: Yellowdog seems to have wider acceptance and be less 'off the beaten path' as far as the linux flavors go. 3: OF all the endeavours I have attempted on a Mac, attempting to install linux has been the most unmitigated time consumer I have ever attempted. I restrain the word 'time WASTER' mostly because it is possible that I am doing things wrong. There are kind people who will help, but you can count on it tending towards an extreme. Some seem to get linux going fairly fast while others seem to get totally lost in the sauce. This might not be a very technical answer, but you should know that you're in for a potential nightmare of time consumption and laborious thinking unless you're one of the privelaged few who fires it up on the first attempt. Having said all that...I'm going to give it another try in another month or two...guess I'm a glutton for the punishment. >Thanks. >-Eric > Good luck to ya Eric Don -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
