---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Duaine, I have been contemplating to change over to Linux for at least five years. Since I am not very bright, when it comes to computers, nothing was done. Also I use programs that run on Windows only. I bought the book "THE NO BS GUIDE TO RED HAT, LINUX 6" by Bob Rankin with a CD a year ago but haven't the nerve to install it. In case if something goes wrong I wouldn't know what to do. BTW ever since I use computer I always had Netscape to get on the Internet and Eudora for E-mail. I wouldn't have it any other way. Any safe input would be appreciated.
