You have confused me, or my memory is whacky :)  think I just read a post on
Linux where you said   Redhot had bugs, Mandrake 7.0 has serious bugs because of
latest release of Xgtree86, you use mandrake 6.2 on your laptop" I wonder if I
have got that right because on another thread on another post you said you use
Redhot and  teach all your students Redhot and seem to imply that is your
preference.

I am Interested Bob because I am running windows 95 (dont like it), been to 98
and I thought it had too many bugs (or was it me ?), my Sons who are computer
programars tell me that they do not like Windows 2000  ! (forgot why). I asked
about NT and I don't think they have a opinion, reason I do not know.

So I am interested in Linux for the future near/far ?

I am getting a new Athlon Computer in Jan. or Feb. and I will be hanged if I
know what operating system to order, except it will not be Windows 95. You have
a suggestion that would help ?
Thank you

Wayne

PS: The only things I use a Computer for are the following in a priority order.

1)  Chess
2)  Talking to my Family via Dialpad
3)  Sports news
4)  Flight simulators
5)  Gardening information such as Avacado tree Care
6)  Medical Information

That is mostly it.
