thank you ken_ver_1.5 for the info, do you know of any linux distros good for newbies ?

[Ken_ver_1_5]

well I an a newbie myself and have tried linspire now working with debian
not the easy one to work with but free. there are many out there and most
have a live cd so you can try it and then download the install. just make sure
that there is a free install available. the one I am using is here http://www.nl.debian.org/CD/

but I would not recommend it for a newbie.

I just jumped in with both feet and still learning as I go:)

Good easy distributions would be Mepis or Ubuntu.

In Mepis you boot into the operating system and can install from there. You can surf of do otherstuff while you install.
