linux question

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

Hi, Tanya. Installing Linux shouldn't be a problem. Our next Installfest
will be
in February or March; in the meantime, you can usually get decent advice
on our discussion list, which you can subscribe to at

There are a number of good Linux distributions to choose from. I generally
use Red Hat or Fedora myself. For an older machine that doesn't have
much memory, I've heard good things about Xubuntu and DamnSmallLinux.
