Hello David - 

DD>>>> HOWEVER - I believe that by the time Linux is as
DD>>>> "user-friendly" as Windows whateverversion, it (Linux)
DD>>>> will be just as bloated and unstable. 

RJT>>> I sure hope not, or that I hang on to enough of the
RJT>>> older versions... 

CA>> Linux is already competing with W9x's for bloated
CA>> installs, memory requirements, etc. 

CA>> If you hang on to the older OS none of the software
CA>> available at that time will work with it. ;-) 

DD> The software that came with the older distrubution would
DD> still work. 

Yes, what came with the distribution would continue to work but
to a person who was hearing good things about GIMP or
applications for sound that would not execute this would be
little/no comfort. :-\ 

btw: You might want to read the message from John Coombes about
installing ZipSlack on a 386.
