Greetings,
I am a pretty experienced computer user although I have
been using Windows all my PC life. I have been looking into alternative
operating systems and have decided I would like to get a copy of a
Linux/UNIX type. I have had some experience with RedHat Linux but am in
need of some advice. I am planning on downloading a Linux/UNIX OS. Now,
when using a 38,600 bps modem, you have to think long and hard about this.
I had problems with RedHat because I am using an ATi video card. I want to
know which version of Linux/UNIX which is free (I am on a tight budget) and
which you would recommend and why.

All help would be gratefully appreciated and I would be grateful if
you could forward your posts to my email address.

Yours faithfully,
Kevin Cunningham.

I don't have that much experience with ATI cards but all versions of Linux are
okay if your on a tight budget. Mainly because they are all free. But I suggest
ordering a from an online catalog , like from Linux mall , or even Cheap
*Bytes. ( I like Cheap Bytes ). From them you can get a cd for only 2 buck
containing a whole distribution. If you have used RedHaT , then get the RH 5.1
distribution and use your computer like it was meant to be used.
