Both ELX and Lycoris are a "walk-in-the-park" to install and to configure! I really can not say enough about these two distributions for a person coming from the Windoze world! Heck, they even found, and properly configured, my "MicroInnovations" (ever heard of that one before?) wheel mouse/track ball thingie. Talk about hardware support! I also think that I am on the cusp of having the Linux boxes and the Windoze boxes talking to each other. Its been a long time coming with a lot of learning on my part, but then 1) I am by NO MEANS a networking expert (barely a novice) and 2) am a TOTAL newbie to Linux (about 3 months now I think). After the networking is finished, it is gonna be time for a glass of Wine, literally and figuratively!
