One word: Ubuntu www.ubuntulinux.org go D/L it or as a side benefit http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org and they will ship you some CDs, get a few, once people know you have it they'll go quickly. The niceness of ubuntu is that even if you have a slow machine or special needs with web and e-mail you can scale down the "feature set" easily. You could do that with Debian, but why not just use something that is geared for Humans, that is based on Total Technical Geekness - Debian. They have done some seriously awesome work and deserves to be applauded. Not to be little Debian, as Ubuntu would be non-existent without it, or at least seriously not the quality it currently has. This is the benefit of using Debian as a base to start from. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
