All this talk of different OSs, I thought that some of you might want to experience a nice Linux interface without installing it on you computer.. Check out this Linux distribution. It's free, and you can download a version that will run from you CD drive. Works on most PCs.. Even includes office software.. Copy it and burn to a CD and reboot. This is a nice interface and works a lot like windoz, but does run slower on the CD drive (cd drives just are not a fast as hard drives) .

Download the "Live" iso file and use your own CD burner SW to make the CD...

Now if Steve Jobs had not made a couple of mistakes several years ago, we all would be using MACs instead of Mr Bill's SW on PCs.
