Hi Maryse, My PC with Windows XP Home Edition is not as prone to "crash" as its predecessors, but... it does still "freeze" from time to time necessitating a "Big Red Switch" reboot! So, today I installed Linux. (Mandrake Linux 8.2) It took a few hours and then I was up and on the Internet... First I used the browser (Konquerer) that came with it, but soon switched to a Linux version of my beloved Opera... Both work very well, less overhead, much quicker than Windows... Now, may I ask what Word Processor and what E-Mail client software you use? (Word Perfect is available in Linux but the Pegasus e-mail is not...) If any of the LIST members are Linux users and can offer advice... hop in here... Linux is a "foreign" language (to me) but the learning curve is proving less steep than I anticipated... And... speaking of a "foreign" language (to me) ...
