You are right about that. The newer flavors of Linux install on the new
hardware very well but not so easy on older boxes,the same goes for
winXP. I have found that Mepis installes easier than WinXP, actually
winxp installs well enough but then you are left to install Ad-Aware,
SpybotSD and an Antivirus and Firefox before you dare put it on the net.
I work on a lot of personal computers that are mostly Zombies so I'm not
putting you on.I am finding linux much more stable and secure and easier
to maintain.In the past I have not been able to do some of the things
you can do with windows (mostly my lack of knowledge) but seriously that
is begining to be less an issue with Simply Mepis and Pro Mepis beta 3
which is awesome. Maurice
