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