Larry, you are a PRIME candidate for Fedora. I got on the Linux bus at RH
5.2 and off the Windows pedicab at Win '98. While I would recommend
Lycoris for people who have never used Linux before, Fedora is probably
right up your alley.

I never heard of it, but I'll do a Google as soon as I get done
with the newsgroups.

It does my heart good to see that people on this newsgroup are at least
aware of the possibility of using Linux. I've been using it exclusively
for years and I've long awaited the day when I would see Linux discussed
on a non-computer-centric forum such as this.

Although I suspect that this forum may well have a percentage of
computer types that exceeds that of the general population, if
only because we're all online.

I started programming when computers had vacuum tubes and spent
a lot of time doing process control stuff, which tends to teach
you a lot about the innards :-).

Most places I worked until recently wouldn't buy an operating
system (minicomputer) unless they could get the source code so
they could modify it :-).
