<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a somewhat newbie to Linux, but I want to
learn more. Since I live in Hawaii, I figured this list would be a good place to
start.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hopefully, someone here can help me answer this
question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am considering purchasing the following laptop
and installing Linux on it:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Toshiba Satellite Pro
T2150CDT</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>486/75mhz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>8mb ram</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>700mb hard drive</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am unsure what distribution of Linux to install
on it and how difficult the install process would actually be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to use the laptop as a learning ground for
Linux as well as a place to create simple web pages, so I assume I would need
some kind of graphical interface as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions would be much appreciated and I
look forward to hearing from the Linux community in Hawaii.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
