By the way,

I tried to install 32 and 64 bit Debian but the iso were all corrupted that I downloaded -
failed to install GRUB boot loader - I tried LUbuntu but the gpg-agen failed to run or even
recognize I had a public key. So I am back to opensuse 11.4 with LXDE. Which is great!!

I have Fedora 16 with LXDE on another laptop - so when I put the screws back in another -
what shall I put on it? Opensuse 12 with KDE?

David
