Ok thanks, Mandrake seems like a posibility then, I saw them in a compusa add
today, but never heard of them.

Compusa's pushing this version of Redhat, that if you buy it with something else
it cost $99!  An I looked at that & said wait a minute, Redhat used to cost $30,
what happened?  So I looked at (that online bookstore), and there's a Redhat
standard for less than $30.  So, ok, now things look normal again.  They also
have Mandrake Linux.  I figured it out that it's cheaper for me to buy things
from the online bookstore than it is for me to drive a v8 car to a computer or
record or book store where I'd pay a little bit more _and_ pay tax.
