Thanks all

  I will look at KUbuntu, need to review all. My stolen laptop was a 
Dell Latitude Cpx, P III 650. Always ran linux great, I finally settled 
on Connect Gear for wireless, had to build the driver, but that is ok. It
worked like a timex, took a licking and kept on transmitting. Ah, a
poet and did not know it,<g>. I think I really want to go in style this 
time in my laptop, ThinkPad with 64Bit and couple of gig memory. Any 
suggestions or thoughts on which one if any out there?

cheers
