Thanks Darryl. I just wondered as I never got in on the OS/2 Craze, though it 
was a rage at one point for bbs's. Now it seems to be Linux. I was curious as 
to what it was and how it worked and how it made things so much better for 
those of you who want to run it. Thanks for taking the time to explain a 
little.

What kind of a learning curve is there in learning Linux if you are new to it 
and how different are the different flavors?

Mike
