As soon as I can migrate off this machine, Format/fdisk/reload, & migrate back I will have a machine available to give Linux. It may take 30 to 60 days. The questions: Where do I start? What version/flavor do I get and where should I get it? How much machine is needed? memory/speed/disk? What are the trade offs? I am asking here because I think a PIC list answer will be more accurate than on a Linux group!
