Funny, you should say that. I just this afternoon pulled a Windows XP hard drive and replaced it with a brand new 40GB Maxtor. I used my just arrived 3 disk set of Mandrake 9.0 and installed it in less than thirty minutes. I am still trying to configure it, but it is up and running and everything (Mozilla browser and email) seems to work. In fact I am using it now while listening to Quinn with the XMMS player.

Yes, I have a way to go to learn it and to use it to its advantages, but as of now my total experience with Linux is less than five hours. It may become my default OS.

Eat your heart out Bush2000!

I can't believe it. Shortly after my post #48, I began to have a "bush200.com" web site take over my browser. I would kill it and it would return within a short time.

Is it possible that linux can be controlled by someone (not necessarily Bush2000) hacking me to prove their point that Linux is also vulnerable? Odd! BTW, I'm running with a cable modem into a Linksys BEFSR42 ver. 2 Router into a four port hub, then to my PC.

Any help with answers will be greatly appreciated. Like I said. I am in the beginning stage and I have much to learn.
