If your having problems with all the distros I'd think it's more of a
hardward problem.  Where does the install lock-up???

Hell everyone.  I joined a few months ago, but have not really posted or
asked much, just sat back and watched for a bit.

I am trying to install Linux on a desktop system, but I keep running into
problems.  I downloaded the ISO files for Mandrake 7.2, Red Hat 7.0, and
Corel Linux 2.0, I aslo own a copy of Mandrake WinLinux 7.1.  Out of the
four I have had limited success.  Each time I try to install Mandrake 7.2,
it locks up and stops installing, as does Red Hat.  I've had the best luck
so far with Corel Linux, however I did start having a probem with it not
going to the graphical login screen after a few days.
Could someone suggest a Linux "flavor" to start out with and where I can
download a copy of it.  I have a CD Burner on another system.  I am
connected to Road Runner and would like to download it from somewhere that I
can get a good connection, and does not take me 5-6 hour to download.

System Specs:
AMD K6-2 333mhz
32 megs ram
4.0 gig HD & 14.0 gig HD
SiS 620 Video Card (8 megs Ram)
ESS Sound Card

Also when is the next meeting?

Thanks in advance.
