Bro. Brown, At the risk of showing my ignorance, would you explain to me about Linux? I have never used it, and have never owned a Mac. So I am in the dark so to speak. We have two PC's both running win95 . One is a "pentium" and one a 486 dx 2 66. At most time I think my old 486 Packard Bell is more stable than our newer model, a "custom" built job. TIA, SIS.
