Thank You,
I  am glad be told about the zipping as I had not thought of that : )
And you are right it would make it sooooo much easier.
I do have WinZip so that is not a problem.
I there really any merit to having more than two or three OS's?
If you have dos , windows, linux, is there any need for OS2, Warp3 and
FREEBSD?
In what areas are they used?
If I wanted to learn to do a little programming, as in troubleshhooting or
customizing existing programs, (tweaking) which OS give themself to the
broadest application or are they all so product specific as Windows and
windows programs?
Is Java really as cross platform as  proclaimed? Will it perform on a
variety of OS's also?
This learning curve is very steep........
What is the best way to learn a general description / function of the
various OS's available.
And what the need / demand would be for each of these , relative to
business, web development, software development?
Realizing I am asking some general broad questions ....
Where does one begin?
TIA, 
Lynna Lunsford
