That leaves Linspire ...if you don't touch anything. <cackles> The
downside to Linux is that it will merrily do whatever you tell it to do.
I blew the smoke out of a beautiful new multisync monitor using
xvidtune, which did just as I told it to do ... and man was I ever a
sick puppy. 

BUT! It's not the fault of Linux, it's the idiot between the chair and
the computer. But, if you install whatever version of Linux you chose
and don't mess with it, generally it'll work for you easier than any
flavor of Windows and better. Sure it's a learning curve, but
behaviorists will say it's good to keep your brain elastic learning new
things. I just turned 59 yesterday and I'm proud to report that my brain
is nice, elastic and soft like a new stick of chewing gum. I owe it all
to Linux, and all the "opportunities" to think that it provides. Just
wait until you decide to configure sendmail for the first time. <grins
hugely> Namaskar, Ric
