Adam, That looks interesting. By the way, several weekends ago I got the LogiTech wireless keyboard and wireless mouse from CompUSA for $50.00 after rebate. They work great with Linux. I initially set them up under Window$ and then booted LibraNet and everything worked! I hope this helps.

Looking over the various options of OS's, I think i've found a solution. I'm going to install redhat 7.3 and an amazingly simple desktop solution called oeone homebase desktop. It's like KDE or gnome but this thing is amazingly simple. http://oeone.com/products/desktop.html Check out the demo and screenshots. I tried it out on my dad and he really liked it. Check out what people are saying about it. http://oeone.com/products/testimonials.html It was very easy to install on my test box. It was something like links -source http://install.oeone.com/ |sh or something like that I had the whole computer setup in about an hour. From their site: HomeBase is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense but, rather, a custom environment tailored for a user's needs. It combines the best of both worlds: an easy-to-use, intuitive operating environment for those who want to keep it simple; a quick, one-click access to a more sophisticated environment for experienced Linux users. While HomeBase DESKTOP comes with a full package of applications, it's simple to pull apps that you're already working with into the HomeBase environment. Adam J.
