Well, my disgust with SCOdera does not mean you should drop your usage
of it. Rather, it just means I don't want it in my house or on my systems.
I threw away a lot of software this morning, along with a number of 
t-shirts. 

If lack of funds is the issue, I can certainly burn you some CDs of a 
couple of distributions and send them to you. Contact me offline if
you want to discuss this further.

This is the lowest cost approach. I don't know how easy it will be nor
do I know how time-consuming it might be for you.

% 2. dump it and move to another distro.

This is the no-brainer approach, but might represent too much upheaval.

% System SCSI drives and cdroms NVida RNT2 video Asus P3 mobo.
% 750+ meg memory soundcard nic and some other general stuff.

% Any thoughts here as to what direct I might want to go. Cheers to all
