I got cable so updates are no problem, I did some looking around and ubuntu sounds like a good choice. I'll let you know if I do need one mailed, seems like I can use my brothers computer tomorrow, though it'll be a bit of a drive.

Sounds like the precursor to a "Which is best" flamewar. :-)<br><br>As a beginner, I'd suggest you try Ubuntu. It has the advantage of a<br>good combination of usability and community support. As in, if you
<br>want to know how to do something in Ubuntu, chances are that a forum<br>somewhere has already answered your question.<br><br>As for getting a copy I could physically mail you one; meeting people<br>face-to-face is somewhat difficult for me.
<br><br>A question: What kind/speed is your Internet connection? A new version<br>of Ubuntu comes out next week, and your system would update over your<br>Internet connection, if possible. If you've got at least DSL, you
<br>shouldn't have any problem with the update.<br><br>On 10/10/07, Jeff Nyman <<a href="mailto:nymanium@gmail.com">nymanium@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi just found this website, so just a quick hello to all before getting to a
