   I will guess, none. The 90 degree angle starting up the learning curve remains.
Anyone can use the X system, it's a no brainer. (like winblows)
   Learning the LINUX commands is no harder than learning the DOS commands,
converting from DOS to LINUX is rough, bad habits are hared to loose and
DOS is more convenient, being NOT case sensitive, I'd hate to have to deal
with both.

  Most or all, a I don't think you can go wrong with a ` name brand '.

Look through the CD-ROM groups in the USENET before spending any money.
