This is exactly what I signed up for so thanks.<br>
It is interesting tolearn what people are using.<br>
Just as a matter of interest I had tried to use UBUNTU and could not get on with it from a networking point ofview but I found Gnome PCLinuxOS worked well and I use it daily.<br>
Impressed with what is a simple distro which does most of what I need.<br>
<br>
Like You I am new to Linux and am particularly interested in new distros and what we can do with them.<br>
Looking forward to the moot in April about digital photography<br>
