Also I bought Openlinux for Dummies and Slackware for Dummies, and some other learn Linux books. Being a newbie to computers in general, I didn't want to screw up my ancient, old computer with some- thing unfamiliar having just learned windoze and dos. But I have even found those books incomprehensible. The best thing for me has been putting in the Basiclinux, no hardware problems, little space taken, and I can experiment with that until I'm talking myself into throwing the computer out the door instead of thru the glass window. Plus I can drop back into my DR-DOS 7.03 or what little win95 I have left on, wait a few days and try again. If you find a good book, I would appreciate your posting the name and ISBN number.
