Jim,

Thanks for responding. I have a Dell that is about 2 1/2 YO. it has 700+
MB RAM and Pentium Processor. I get PC World. They said Ubuntu 6.10 and
SuSE SE 10.2 are both good. Maybe you guys have different opinions. I
could bring it over on Friday. I need to know what time, where and how
much
for dues, etc.

Thanks
Gurubandhu
