   RW> TW> I have a couple of Boot flaxh drives that I have installed LUNIX for   
   RW> TW> testing on. I had the best luck with Puppy Linux but LINUX is not for   
   RW> TW> me.   
      
      
   RW>Heh. I have 3 linux CDs and I wouldn't want to be stuck with any of those   
   RW>three as an OS...my 1st one was Red Hat v5.2 - I used it for a while, but   
   RW>got too frustrated with it crashing all the time, I reformatted the drive   
   RW>it was on and went back to W98. Then I got Lindows, v4.5 and it was better   
   RW>than Red Hat and even worked like Windows, but it also got to be a pain to   
   RW>use, so again I went back to W98. Then came Knoppix 3.2...what a mess that   
   RW>was and so I upgraded W98 to W2k and lived happily ever after until I   
   RW>finally installed XP.   
      
   I started with Red Hat also and have over the years worked through about   
   7 different distributions. NONE really worked for me. Always some   
   Glitch. My most frustrating time was getting a printer to work.   
   On my try with one distribution during the install it communicated with   
   the internet to catch upgrades but after the install I could not get it   
   to connect.
