Well Tommy, If he's dangereous (as you said) I guess he's exactly the right person to try Linux, beside with distributions like Mandrake you dont need to be an expert to play around with Linux, and even betrer you dont have to suggest any applications, Mandrake is full of em, you just tell him which is for what ( If he couldnt guess from the names :)
Dangereous guy + Mandrake + newbie@linux-mandrake URL + enough time = A linuxian in the making .... and maybe YOU will learn from him later on ;) Regards, >===== Original Message From Tommy Eaton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >Hi all, > >I was chatting with my dad the other night about his adventures with Windows >XP.
