Jerry: I would have to disagree with Jerry. Certainly RH8.0 and Mandrake 9 are workable substitute
for Windoze, but they might not run on your more modest machines.

I suggest you send your question to one of the LINUX forums - goodness knows there are hundreds of
them - for more informed advice. There are many flavours of LINUX and depending on what you want to
do there is sure to be one that might suit your needs.
