I am so glad to see that you are your _'OLD"_ happy self again Denis <g>.........
Yes I read your article and it was very helpful to me in that I will not be installing
it, cos,
if you had problems then I must by definition be worse off, if I did.
The only other distruibutions that are left to me are RedHat (which i will try) and
Mandrake 8,
which I am unsure about. I will have, thanks to an un-named admirer,
blush, a copy of Caldera 3.1 Workstation, which I am familiar with also its foilbles.
I admit that I will probably be using this and trying out mandrake and Redhat.
I am still sorry to say that I will have to leave windows installed, for my video
stuff along
with my cameras to download their pictures. Linux is not and will not be in the
foreseeable
future a full desktop usable OS for me.
