Well, I am back at it again. I am going to get the third (ancient)
computer into the act. This is going to entail some delay because I am
going to move the third computer into the same room as the other two
computers. (Previously it was located in the basement) When I looked at
the ancient computers Linux partition (Red Hat), I realized that it
Unwas unused for quite a while I think it best to install the latest
version of Unbuntu on it. I think I can run Unbuntu on it (I'll soon
find out) I'll get back with you folks as soon as I am finished.
By the way, it has been suggested that I do a reinstall on the affected
computer... I am getting to that point but not just yet. You see, I
learn the most when confronting a problem and I am certainly learning a
lot now. When my frustration reaches a certain point, I will reinstall.
