That makes a ton of sense. Anything to help a newbie get better aquainted
with a new OS.
As a side point, you mention SuSE, and Caldera... I have L-M 6.0 installed and
I have some old distro's of those and a few other's. Now L-M supports RPM's
and other _package_ installs. Is it worth while to browse these other
distro's for MORE software ( given the fact that LIBS and stuff get indtalled
also)??
TIA
