<DIV><FONT size=2>Hell everyone. I joined a few months ago, but have not
really posted or asked much, just sat back and watched for a bit.

<DIV><FONT size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
