From: Richard B. 

Okay, I'm going to try to make the time (again) to check out Linux. I
mainly see it for additional servers here initially, for things like
archived files. Most users are only familiar with Windows, so they need to
be insulated from anything that would cause them pain, other than waking up
in the morning.

I'm checking around on the net for newbie sites. A good beginners guide
would be helpful, especially from the POV of going from Windows to Linux,
with emphasis on networking. Btw, what happens when it's upgrade time, is
it painful, painless, or just irritating?

Installation will be on older PII machines initially. Intel NICs, Matrox
video, maybe even SoundBlaster 16 bit audio.

Any suggestions, advice, etc?

- Richard
