Thanks for all the replies. Your responses amke me want to try it out. I am
not a gamer. I don't think I use any real exotic programs. My wife downloads
PFDs for her business. I was also interested in time management and goal
setting programs. Use use some audio programs and watch youtube type stuff.
Does Linux have anythign like Audacity for recording audio? I live about 45
from Anchorage (actually in Wasilla, Sarah's home town) where there is a Linux
group but can't make it for a few weeks. I understand that no computer is
immune from infections but realize that Linux has a very good track record and
I'm tired of infections. Is my 750 MBs of RAM sufficient to run Linux?
