I would strongly Ubuntu. It is based on Debian (*the* rock solid distribution) but is very user friendly while retaining Debian's stability. You can download the ubuntu Live CD (http://www.ubuntu.com/; click on Download and choose to get Ubuntu 7.10), burn it to a CD, insert it in your computer's drive, reboot computer _from that drive_ and you can try out Ubuntu without actually having to install anything. If you like what you see, you can next install it on your computer. Once installed, the GUI interface is pretty good and you can start using it right away. Finally, one you have it installed, or also during the installation, you may need some support or need to get a few answers. For this, subscribe to Ubuntu Users mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users). It is an excellent mailing list and you can have almost every kind of help in Ubuntu there. ->HS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
