UbuntuLinux appears to be good too - not only it is free in the real sense of the word, but they send you the CDs (Live and Install) free of charge. I have placed an "order" for a few of these last week, and have yet to receive them. However, I downloaded the iso format image (approx 630MB) and created my own CD via Nero. The Live CD boots up UbuntuLinux straight from the CD (you must ensure that the option to boot up from CD precedes bootup from Hard Drive first, though, in the PC startup configuration), without affecting the underlying O/S. Loading is slow, as is to be expected as it boots up and runs from CD, and presents you with a Gnome interface. The CD also has OpenOffice on it, so you can run the s/ware from there. I haven't explored it much other than to see if it works on my laptop - and it did perfectly. Only thing I couldn't get to work is the wireless card, though it recognised the card. UbuntuLinux is at http://ubuntulinux.org/ Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo. Melbourne - Australia. ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Try Yahoo!
