Working with Linux on a PC 1629

Snit

I can be as bristly as the next person. It depends on the OP's atbreastude. If they post 'such-and-such didn't work therefore Linux is a POS' it's guaranteed to get all my back up. I try to talk to the person as if we we're sat in a pub but it's easier with some than it is with others. Such is life.

I see the post listed and will read it when I've caught up with todays posts-replies :-)

I'm not a techie. I wouldn't even qualify as a geek. I'm just a bloke off the street who got into computers with Win3.1 and just progressed looking for something new to learn each day. When I was using Windows, I was always looking for something better - for the last two years of Linux, I stopped looking.

If they can install, Mandrake is the one. Others may say Xandros, which is supposed to be quite impressive but I've never used it.

Distrowatch is the place to go and look at the various strengths of the different versions available.

KDE has an Accessibility section in the Control Centre, I think. I would imagine there are complete distro's with these kinds of features... Just GNU-Linux distro for visually impaired persons').

That Slackware is the definitely the distro for you ;-)
