I never did thank you guys for your comments, did I? Hmmm.
Thanks.
Well, it's been a while but I'm now a Linux convert. It took me all of 20 minutes messing about with the 'demo' disk to make me realise that it did everything I wanted...and more. So, using the same disk, I installed it onto my PC (taking 10 minutes), another 5 minutes saw me online and I can now take my time to learn to use it properly. It's not that it's any more difficult to use than MS, it's just different. To use an analogy, think driving a car to riding a bike, Linux being the bike. I'm looking forward to it.
The version I'm using is PCLOS (Gnome), available
here.For anyone who has been tempted in the past, download it, demo it and you may surprise yourself.
