Do you have a local Linux user's group available in your area? Very often, there are folks there who are most familiar with one distribution or another. You may find it easiest to get started with their assistance. Once you get the basics down, you can pretty well pick and choose amongst various distributions. I personally like Debian, but it can be difficult for a newcomer. However, if your local LUG has several Debian users who can help you get going, it can be very rewarding, and would fit well on that hardware. I would check out your hardware against the compatability lists to make sure there are no "gotchas", especially for the video hardware if you're contemplating a GUI installation. Good luck. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message. Also, trim this footer from any quoted replies.
