Just like this forum, there are plenty of people willing to help you for free, but you'll have to re-learn most things from scratch & the help files in the Linux Distributions are not as user friendly as the help files in Windows. Most computers nowadays have PCI card modems & alot of these are not a straight forward installation in a Linux system. I'm a Linux newbie myself, & though I've had a look at RedHat 7.2, Mandrake 8.2 & Redhat 7.3, ( I have them all available too) I have not had the time to configure my internal modem & I had to try out 4 different types before I found one that will work with a Linux system. Generally, external modems work first time as Linux has native support built in, but PCI modems are a different thing altogether. The Linux distributions come with office packages similar to Microsofts Office & some distributions come with lots of games too. Some of the games will run well in one "Desktop" version, but not well in another. A desktop is like a user interface. Linux users can choose between different "desktops" & the most common are the Gnome & the KDE versions. KDE has more "eye candy" than Gnome. As linux Distributions are freeware, they dont come out of the box with a great collection of fonts, which means some of the on-screen text can be a little difficult to read when comparing them to the out of the box windows defaults. Dont get me wrong, Linux is great & it's highly possible that every time you connect to the internet, you're viewing things through a linux server. Linux is really stable if you don't intend to use it solely as a gaming machine & unlike Windows, should never need reinstalling, but lets face it, newbies tend to break things & I'm no exception to that rule. Go ahead & try it, you'll learn something & it'll be one of your most inexpensive computer related lessons ever. Just think about it... $30 for an "OS", applications, games & as many utilities as you can poke a stick at & to top it all off, linux is fully customisable & open source so you can get in under the bonnet & change things. Windows is like a car with it's bonnet welded shut (closed source). Mike P |

I was hoping for an orange one myself, but suppose I can be seen in public in the colour purple. Red (F1 logo) on Purple might look quite groovy! |
