Hi August, Rob and All Others reading this thread.

Many years ago Jean Parrot wrote in the FIDO Windows echo about his using a
Ubuntu live CD to see what Linux was all about.

So I d/l'd Ubuntu 7.04 to see for myself what it did.
I never installed U'u (as Jean called Ubuntu) only ran a Live CD.

Played a bit with the Terminal, which to Me was kinda like MS-DOS.
Looked around the GUI programs and read some Help files.

Later on I got later versions of U'u to play with.
Even a couple of LTE versions.

I haven't booted any of those CD's in years.

I enjoyed learning how U'u worked.
Also tried Mint once or twice.

Here, the computer is My Playtoy.
I call it my all purpose machine because it can be used to write letters, do
Math with a spreadsheet, save photos off my digital camera etc. etc.
