Joe, I will look into it. I currently have a copy of Mandrake 7.0, Red Hat 6.1, Caldera, Turbolinux 4.0 and Storm Linux. I am just going through and installing each to see how they work. Mostly, I am looking at learning and being able to use Linux at a level that I can DOS/Windows. I am also planning on FreeBSD at some point. I wrote up a simple plan in a previous email concerning the kind of home netwrok I want to setup and how I want to do my Current Harddrive. So there is a lot of planning and learning right now. The main thing I like about Linux personally, is the control. As to disagreeing, I could not based on my limited experience with Linux, Red Hat and Mandrake.
