He is usingi Windows NT 5. Windows 2000. Which is seriously old and long time EOL. :-) Win 2000 was not meant for home use. It was a business release and was very expensive. He either has a used machine that he bought at a swap meet or a Pirated copy. My 'guess' would be that Linux does not 'run' for him because his machine is too old and the hardware might require special (non free) drivers. And I would think that the money he says he will spend on Windows 7 will be a waste too. :-) -- David -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
