Hi Carl
I hate to say I am a newbie, but we have all been there.
Have windows 98 and Linux Mandrake 7.1 Deluxe loaded independently on my
computer. Don't have books on them but do have a need for a guru.
They were joined at the hip by my friend David. Can't wipe one with out
killing the other. The windows programe is not running well at all. Get a blue
screen in a heart beat. Linux is great but I need to tweek it to make it more
user friendly.
Need help if you have the time.
Thank You Art
