It is well worth the effort. The battle is much easier if you stick with Debian, but feel free to check out what others say about all of the distributions. I credit Win95 for making it easy enough for this newbie to get totally addicted. I thank Linux for keeping me motivated, and willing to learn more. Jan '96 -PC with win95 enters home oh, I had a vic20 when I was a teen, but that is about the extent of my computer background. I read like a bastard for about a year and a half before I got my PC, so I wasn't totally clueless, but close. April '96- totally addicted to my computer and the Internet, enter Linux. Still reading everything I can get my hands on, but its tough to make up for years of not learning. ;-) ~Oct'96-enter Debian. ahhh, it sure makes life easier, now I can actually use my Linux system instead of trying to configure every damn little thing. I don't have much disk space allocated, but I've got XWin, Apache, Smail, Netscape, Emacs, some games(quake!), learning some perl, msql, and so much more than I'd bore you with here. :-) Theres nothing like watching the output from tcpdump in one window, while you work on a webpage with your local server in another window, while you upgrade your version of smail, while you test those new perl scripts, ........continue until you choke your machine..... Point being, this has lead me change my career ambitions. It may not do the same for you, but you're sure to learn a hell of alot, have a little fun, take some pride in something not everyone can do, and meet some damn fine people via these lists and the Linux community at large. Stick with it! Best Wishes, and many thanks to everyone on the Debian Development team for a fine job! (lookin' for the job of his dreams) Rich M [EMAIL PROTECTED] as for your trouble with making disks. Under win 95 Get rawrite, get the floppy images on your HD. drag and drop the images onto rawrite with a floppy in the drive, it should prompt you which disk you want to write to, a or b whichever applies. Hope that helps. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
