That what Tom said, don't buy XP :) Remember, most machines running Windows 98 aren't powerful enough to run 2K or XP. It's a choice between 1) Buy a new machine (which will have XP) 2) Upgrade to a cut-down version of Linxu (which they'll have major problems understanding. It will be running something like blackbox, firefox might be too bloated etc) 3) Stay as it is 95% of people will choose option 3, the other 5% will choose option 1 (they probably will have done so anyway) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
