It is interesting and fun > when it isn't mind blowing and Frustrating. I came to Linux about 3 years ago, at the age of 75. Started out with openSUSE but it just didn't feel right for me. So then did a little distro hopping through Mepis, PCLinuxOS, Puppy, Ubuntu, Zenwalk, Mandriva, Fedora, Pardus - and even GoboLinux. Some only lasted the live CD stage! Finally, I've settled on LinuxMint for both my Desktop and Laptop computers, although I do, from time to time, dabble with others - just 'cos I'm curious, you understand :-) Regards from New Zealand on a very cool Wednesday evening.
