That would be good. I did check out Distrowatch and Linux.org. The
possibilities are absolutely amazing. There is gold in them hills. Of
course, the flip side of lots of choices is making the right choice. I want

again, I would want to do more with a better system. I have so many
conflicts in this Windows ME system right now, it's primary function is as a
paperweight.

 Thanks for the good advice.
