Anyone looking to try linux out for size i'd suggest "Simply Mepsis 3.4-3" its "live cd" which means it will boot and load off your cd player and you can test it out without installing it. If you like it you can install it to your Hard drive. I tried it on my laptop and it auto-detected my WIFI stuff on my IBM Thinkpad and didn't have to do anything. Very easy.
Thanks to a couple of people here that mentioned it to me.

Here's a list of Live CD distros that people can choose from as well.

There are a couple on that list I've tried out personally and can recommend.

I second that. It's one of the easiest.

You are most welcome!!! [smile] The support group at http://www.mepislovers.org are without a doubt the most kind and helpful group you will find! (admittedly, some of them want to help so much they tell you stuff that ain't so!)

If you are used to the old "RTFM" and "TRY GOOGLE, IDIOT!" kind of answers you used to get in linux groups, this one is a really pleasant surprise.

Just tried Mepis--though I don't usually care for Debian-based distros, I was pretty impressed with it.

Then again, I'm still partial toward Slax ;)
