Lee: What I want is a system that has a web browser that can display the streaming videos included on many websites, including the different news services like Reuters, ABC, CNN, etc at Yahoo.com and the trailers at film.com. Basically the same functionality that a Windoes user would have on the same websites. In my opinion, this is critically important to get a Windows user to want to swap to Linux. After all, why make the change if you lose features? Office apps are not an issue (due to OO), games aren't either because of wine and parallels (or vmware). Not needing antivirus or malware software won't do the trick, nor will the lower price of the OS. No, the one issue that breaks the bank is full-featured web browsing. If that can be made to work correctly then there is really no need whatsoever to retain Windows, other than maybe a virtual machine for the reasons mentioned above. My goal is to be able to sever the Windows umbilical that so many people are attached to. I want the stereotypical blonde to be able to turn on the computer and run it just as easily as she does Windows. I cannot do that with the tools I have now. As for my location, it's about 50 miles out of Dallas, TX. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
