Thanks for all the replies. Your responses amke me want to try it out. I am not a gamer. I don't think I use any real exotic programs. My wife downloads PFDs for her business. I was also interested in time management and goal setting programs. Use use some audio programs and watch youtube type stuff. Does Linux have anythign like Audacity for recording audio? I live about 45 from Anchorage (actually in Wasilla, Sarah's home town) where there is a Linux group but can't make it for a few weeks. I understand that no computer is immune from infections but realize that Linux has a very good track record and I'm tired of infections. Is my 750 MBs of RAM sufficient to run Linux?
Thanks
GB

You just pop it in, boot the computer from the CD, then select "try ubuntu without making c,hanges to your computer." It will be slower than a full install, and slower than a puppy linux live cd, but will give you a better idea of what the ubuntu OS is like before you commit to it. Ubuntu is, in my experience, quite different than puppy linux. However, i do like puppy quite well for my much older hardware.
