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

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.

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:
