[NTLUG:Discuss] Beginner!!

[Stephen Davidson]

Hi guys.

I like Suse 7.x.  Comes with Apache preinstalled and configured, lots of help, and more stable than Redhat.  Lots of other cool software as well.  I am not 
using a dual-boot system, but when I first installed on a previous Win98 machine, it did ask me if I wanted to keep the Windows partition.  Lots of material in 
the archives of this mailing list, including useful links to other documents.
