Hi Stuart, I'm new to linux. I have, completely, got rid of windows me 
and  I've managed to get Mandrake 8.0 up and running on my laptop 
(compaq presario 1200) It has 64meg Ram and a 6gb hard drive. A lot of 
the software is quite old on this version (in linux terms) and I was 
looking to get some advice on trying to get a more up to date version of 
linux that would run on my machine.

I tried to put Mandrake 9.1 on, but I was told that I was low on 
resources. In the process of loading, it would not eject the first disc 
to put in the second disc etc.

I am running only linux on this machine. Despite the fact that this is 
an older version of linux, I am still enjoying learning what it can do.

Any suggestions and help would be appreciated :-)

Regards,

George
