<<<    Hi Jeffrey, it will take months but while you do things you will 
learn WHY your desire to use Linux is a good one. I learned years ago 
that Windows was going toward being only available on a computer you buy 
with it on it. But the main thing is Microsoft no longer writes a book 
on Windows XP that you want to afford.

    The Windows XP book sells for $125.00 and it's good. But it requires 
you to read it and get experiance and then, a new version comes out that 
is Vista and it is nothing like Xp. New Book. Linux you have a book that 
will be good for years. You have a list like this where you can get help.

    So enjoy your ride and it will get better and better as the updates 
arrive. And you will want to d/l using apt-get install so special stuff. 
I wanted to work on some Fortran programs I wrote years ago. But no 
Fortran on my computer. I asked here and a guy told me what to install 
and now I have it and it works great!

Karl:

I set up a 600M machine with a 40M HD today.  It will be my machine to
experiment with.  If I crash it I can just reload it with my disk and start
over.  The Ubuntu disk loaded first try, and in record time.  I was using a
monitor I had not used for about 5 years.  After about an hour it burned a
CRT drive transistor. I will get another monitor from the thrift store in
the next few days.

Part of what started me toward Linux was that I wanted off of the MS merry
go round.  MS systems are a recurring expense, and one looses more control
of the system with each generation.

With my experimental machine I want to be able to do the command line
entries like I see on this list, and find out what the results are.  It will
help me to understand how the OS works. I will learn many things.  It will
be a good ride.
