[Ham-Computers] Puppy Linux Question

[Dale Miller]

Don't know anything about Puppy Linux.
Why don't you give Ubuntu a try, you can download it here 
http://www.ubuntu.com/download .
You then need to check out this guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper .
You should also check out this page and download Automatix so you can 
download WINE and be able to run Windows programs on Ubuntu, 
http://www.getautomatix.com/ .
Automatix also installs other popular programs and the codex for 
multimedia, like watching dvds and internet streams.

If Puppy Linux is using KDE and you prefer that you can get to Kubuntu 
from the Ubuntu home page here, http://www.ubuntu.com .
You can also get CD's of Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu free of charge, no 
shipping charges either.
Just goto the respective home pages of each distro and then click on 
Shipit, your login and password will work with all 3 once setup on one 
of them.

If you need and help feel free to email me and I can walk you through 
anything.
Or you can also message me on Yahoo at kc2cbd at yahoo.com
