Okay Linux is on your list I know there are 3 types of free downloads of
Linux that I know of.
1) Red Hat Linux
2) Mandrake Linux
3) Slackware Linux
Has anyone used all of these and what were the perks? If the pro's outweigh
the con's I'm getting it. ;-)
Does anyone know of a Linux software that you don't have to burn cd's for? I
don't have a burner. Uggg. Thanks Jason for your input. Much appretiated.
