    Hey there,

    Complete newbie here. Is there a FAQ's available for this ng?

    At any rate, I have a bunch of "slightly mature" Macs and a few PC's
    around the house, and I would like to explore linux.

    A friend told me that I can get a bootable CD that allows me to boot up
    from and check out the OS.

    The current machine of choice probably would be my ibook dual USB-600,
    combo drive. I have the usual OS (9.2 and X) and Toast.

    Obviously a newbie, so please be gentle with the jargon, e.g., "building
    a kernel of corn while eating a yellow dog that's wearing a red hat"
    means nothing to me :-)

    Thanks.

    Tho
