Hi Guys I been reading a lot of stuff on this list about Linux, and I am not very pleased with windows I would like to look at alternatives, specially if they are cheap or even free. The problem is that I been using windows for such a long time that I can not get my head around the Linux concept. and then there are Linux, Debian, etc. I am confused... any really good sources of info that you can recommend ? From all the info I got from a Electronics engineer's angle this system brings a lot of advantages in terms of hardware control. thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for my MS windows corrupted little brain, I blame society... best regards Luis -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
