My e-mail address has changed to lma@gci.net I use redhat myself, but one drawback is that there is no automatic updating facility (As bugs and security holes are found in certian parts of linux, the fixes are posted on Redhat's website and you have to download and install them yourself). I think the mandrake distribution has an automated update facility. I've heard good things about Calderra's OpenLinux and Corel's Linux distribution. Both are supposed to be very easy to install and configure. - Dan
