If you want ease of install, you should try Ubuntu... You answer half a dozen questions, and off you go... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

I actually burnt a CD of Mepis and tried out the LiveCD version (I remember thinking it was really nice), but never got around to installing it. Probably due to bias, cause I think I've already decided on Xandros at the time. I still work on Windows most of the time too, but beginning to enjoy my Linux box as well while I'm learning PHP/MySQL on it.

I did install Ubuntu, but being a complete Linux noob, I had a heck of a time getting it to work with a printer connected to an XP machine. Finally gave up and went off in search of an alternative. :(( However, I have to agree that it is very easy to install. In fact, Ubuntu's disk partition tool has rescued me a few times during my test installations with various other distros.

Maybe there needs to be a pictogram version of it? Maybe too many words, or a complete sentence throw some people off? ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF!

Nah, I can read quite well. But thanks for the thought.

I didn't uninstall Mepis once it auto-detected and supported all my hardware. When it recognized my palm and ipod automatically I almost fell out of my chair. To be fair, once Mepis was installed and it all went without a hitch, I never uninstalled it to try another. :) so we are even. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
