He He He I know what you meen but when you've had as much problems with getting what people call Ideot OS's up and running properly as I have you start doubting yourself my first experience with the distros fell flat because I could not connect to the net with my modem. Now I can connect but can't seem to find the distro's I want to download and the other Linux OS talked about elswhere is giving me major head aches.

The biggest advantage (IMHO) with the 6-CD Powerpack version is the 3D Graphics drivers come pre-built. If that is not an issue for you (on my system, the OpenSource 2D drivers work better than the proprietary ones

) then by all means, download the 3-CD set and install. Then follow the link to EasyUrpmi in my sig, and set up your repositories. (Be sure to include "contrib" and "PLF" as well as "main" and "updates".) From there on, you have access to all the non-proprietary software that is available on the 6-CD set.

Yea, you don't have 1 period in that whole paragraph (not counting 1,248.00). Just thought that was funny.
