Let's put Linux on one of our spare boxes and have a look at it!

Mandriva 2007.0 as we have it in our dedicated CD basement.

Installs? - no worries! - monkey proof buttons! - suites us fine.

Questions regarding technicalities of a few things, e.g., DHCP or not, "Shall I format your hard drive" --- etc etc, know enough; won't let little things like that upset us.

SHA-BANG: Reboot.

Bloody awesome mate.

Everything about the whole "Open Source" PRODUCT is like breathing fresh air after being at the bottom of a mine full of methane and arsenic.

To be blunt: This is a model which should be extrapolated to the whole of Humanity.

"All I wanted to do was get Apache up and running, but I think I might have found my Life's Work."

This Linux is cute, functional and only just unstable enough to make it real.

Installed UBUNTU for a look, even easier, and it kept my existing Mandriva installation intact with zero intervention.

Modern Linux has nearly everything that you may have found comfortable in your previous life, plus a whole lot more, and then a bit more again.

Big learning curve: That's what extreme sport is all about.

Anyway must run, have a hot date with a penguin.
