Would you let me know how the installation go? I'm seriously considering Red Hat but on a separate machine. It is a ritual to re-re-reinstall doze95 every 6 months. The latest was this week. Since all I do at home is browsing and minimal word processing, I think linux would replace my doze95. I'd like to hear how things compare performance wise, if you get to install linux. thanks.

>>I'm about to install System Commander and Red Hat Linux to my home PC. >>That'll break the MS OS monopoly. Take that Bill. Every person counts. If you believe your vote matters then do this. What is system commander? You don't need a boot manager, Linux comes with one. I boot Linux with the NT boot manager. >>Does anyone have any warnings before I screw up my computer? If you know and/or like Unix then you'll love it. No screwing up about it. >>I may try Applix Anyware for a word processor and spreadsheet. If I do I'll let you know how it turns out. I have heard many good things about Applix. Im getting Applix when I get some time. You can download Word Perfect 7 for Linux trial version for free. Also Star Office is supposed to be good. I am running Slackware. Let us know how it goes. I can help with basic questions and there's always comp.linux, etc. Judd
