I mainly use Ubuntu, 6.06, and 8.04 allthough I'll be migrating 8.04 to 8.10 soon as it has Aiptek graphics tablet support.

Ahh Puppy, we used to use Puppy at the computer recycling joint.

(They were a place that took 10 old not working computers and made 5 to 8 working ones that were given to charities).

Ubuntu 9.04 = Hp Compaq and Ubuntu 9.10 = Dell mini9. Also play around with sabayon, mint, antix mint, PCLinuxOS, Debian, puppy , dsl and any other I can find, not a geek, but, having fun with all the Live distros.

I'd like to be, but not willing to far to put in the work to get my Verison Aircard to work with it Smile

and since I use the pc for mostly hitting the net, doesnt do me any good without that. One day I'll actually start trying to learn the coding Smile

Hey Nemo, codes? Are you referring to command line? Most Linux distros now are GUI (Graphics user interface), in other words, like winbloze, lol, push a button, etc., you might be surprised at the easy transition , and the many benefits one gains with linux over windows. Mainly === Free, as in "free beer". I think there are several on here familiar with Linux, I think, David, Mike, and maybe otheres, hope you check into it.

Nemo, I understand that for sure, being pretty new and not familiar with the inner working and all, so am hesitant to "open" er up. However, when I can get my van agoin, I will probably have a little time to start scratchin an a diggin to learn and become a real penguin,. LOL
