It only "looks like DOS" if you want it to. You have your choice of GUIs, OR you can totally build your own. The existing GUIs are much more customizable, I mean totally customizable than windows. Of course, you do have the option at any time to work in up to 18 windows for different projects at the same time. OR you can switch to the command line in a "DOS" console. Want to see what different GUIs look like? Go to www.mandrake.com and see screen shots. or go to www.ximian.com . > it would require some time to Get used to a whole new OS. Yes, but in the end, you just click on any icons to start programs. There are plenty of books, user groups, on-line help to get you started. Today, 30% of the worlds servers are using Linux, and Linux has a bigger desktop following than the Mac, over 5% and growing. I am very excited that TB! will be ported to Linux. I will gladly purchase it again. > Also a 1 GIG download over 56k isnt my best bet either. i dont know > anyone with Disks of Linux. go to www.cheapbytes.com ... get just about any distro on disk for just $2 to $5, and you can install it next to windows, and it will read/write your window files too. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: With proper diet, rest, and exercise a healthy body will last a lifetime. -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
