Hey guys your response is overwhelming. *sniff* My thanks goes out to
you guys. Honest. Well I would like the works (the full vehicle with extras)
but I'll have to live with the do it yourselfer. Slackware base install is
60MB's but I think it was an ISO. I only have a 56k connection. I've heard a
lot about Red Hat Linux wished I can get it but I'm looking at 27 hours just
for one image. Slackware it is I guess. May-be if I contact a co-worker who
has a cable modem and a CD-Burner I can get that Red Hat Linux 7.2 then I'll
be happy and can use gdb.. lol
