If the computer has the resources to run Windows XP, you might consider Ubuntu (<a href="http://ubuntu.com">http://ubuntu.com</a>). Thanks, Cody A.W.

It won't access the Internet, gets an "unidentified error" trying to even display its firewall settings, and is, according to him, telling him his XP has "expired" and won't let him reinstall... or some such. He's had with Windows and is asking me to load up Linux. I see Feisty Fawn on the download page is the most recent stable Xu? Is this one stable enough for a newbie, and a curmudgeonly old barber at that?</blockquote><div> Feisty Fawn indeed is the most recent stable Xubuntu, and in my opinion the most user friendly release yet. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 61 W Broadway Butte, Montana 59701 406-782-2240 <a href="http://bigskypenguin.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://bigskypenguin.com</a> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Check out PHPenguin, a lightweight and versatile PHP/MySQL development framework. <a href="http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/</a> -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Vincent -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Firefox (<a href="http://www.getfirefox.com">www.getfirefox.com</a>) -- A browser you can trust
