Ditch the COL 3.1.1.  I've had no problems with Redhat 7.1 or 7.2.  And 
my wife likes them just fine.  In fact she even prefers Linux finally.  
I have a dual boot win98 so my daughter can play childrens learning 
games.  Well when my wife needs to get on the 'Net or what not after my 
daughter is done playing, instead of doing it in windoze like she used 
to, she now reboots to linux to surf or do her work.
