Hello, About 24 months ago I gave linux RH 6.2 a try. I am not a programmer and not very familiar with unix or linux. I did get the linux to run and was able to connect to the internet but had a lot of trouble getting printers to work and found it generally difficult for someone with my skill level. WLUG was very helpful and I though that in a while I would try again. I think that this fall I am going to make another effort. Are there any suggestions of what distro to try. Basically I will have a dual boot system with either xp or 2000. I have a PII 450 with 196mb ram and 13gig HD. I appreciate the advice. Thanks Tom -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Charles R.

Red Hat 8.0 is specifically geared, for the first time ever, for Desktop installation and ease-of-use, so that is what I would recommend. Mandrake 9 was also just recently released, and it might be worth a try also. Mandrake has historically been geared towards Desktop ease-of-use. -- Charles R.

I second that recomendation for mandrake 9.0 I used 8.1 and it was very full featured! On Thu, 3 Oct 2002, Charles R. Anderson wrote:

Are all 5 iso images needed for install? I would imagine not. Does anyone know what each iso image is titled. Historically, one has been for sources and another for binaries, etc. Chris Charles R. Anderson wrote:
