Hey TT_75, thanks for the link:-) I was a contributor on that site.........4 years ago........wow!!! Linux sure has changed since 2004:-) Yep.....I remember read the FAQ
I have two actually:-) Open Chat and the Linux Forums:-) I love to go to Nevada........haven't been there in over 20 years. Do you like to gamble (slot machines, cards)?
My daughter is happy with her new macbook, it has a 2.4 GHz intel core duo processor with 2GB RAM, and a DVD/CD burner. Those specs should do you, if not then like shanenin said max out the RAM.
