Hello Suleyman, It is interesting what you say abou the X-box because extreme tweaking has a price - I think it is worth it. Most people dual boot - but I throw both Windows (and would too with Linux) around so much that they always seem to conflict . . . Here is a review of the Gnome based Beatrix http://www.tuxs.org/beatrix.htm Very impresssed with this - I got bored with it very quickly which means it works . . . (an OS is a background thing) I also preferred Puppy Linux over Damn small linux (DSL) - especially as the Puppy team are working on a new one called 'hairy nosed wombat' - it looks and feels like 95/98 so very easy to use for some I do not know Konqueror well enough to not like it - always seemed OK to me. The conference thing is something I will try and arrange so we can check it out - do you have a time (GMT based) that works for you? Gaim I looked at again and it seems very popular - so is obviously good - I could not configure it and it was not a priority Below are the links from Puppy - which I think are good and look at MS trying to spread disinformation . . .
