===== Original Message From Timothy Mason <tmason@club-internet.fr> ===== Good Lord! This is the third time I've tried to install Linux, and it still hasn't cost me as much to purchase the system as it does to buy Windows.

But the costs are incurred elsewhere. I reckon it'll take me at least three months to get up to the stage at which I'll be able to configure modem and ethernet card to the stage where I can go on the net. For the *real* newbie like myself - most of those who call themselves 'newbies' on this list are already thoroughly familiar with the inner workings of some other OS, and have at least a slight tendency to geekhood - shifting from MS to Linux is either too hard to do or takes up oodles of time. I've decided to break it this time, because I've had enough of MS. But I wonder if anyone out there could tell me what I ought to read to get up and running, and which doesn't assume that I already know a baud from a bit.

Best wishes -- Timothy Mason <tmason@club-internet.fr> http://perso.club-internet.fr/tmason/
