Hello, I'm not UNIX proficient and have been a Windoze user since version 3.0. All I want to do is to run my computer as a workstation, get on the Internet, do some word processing and HTML programming, and some light graphical work. I have a board that has an AMD K5 90Mhz, 32BM RAM, two 504MB Quantum HDDs, and an ATI 264CT video card with 2MB RAM. I don't mind the learning curve, I know I can learn to use this OS. I might even be tempted to learn to program if the right UNIX-like OS came along. I've had a tiny bit of experience with Linux. I had it on my computer for about two weeks. ;-) I want to move away from Windoze 9x to a stable and dependable OS. Would I be better off installing say, Redhat 5.1, or the latest version of FreeBSD? And, what X-Windows GUI should I run on my machine? Damn! there are so many of them!! Thanks. -- G.R.
