I don't think that any of you need training. Just go down to Best Buy,
Fry's Electronics, Comp USA, or whatever, and pick up SuSE Linux
(Mandrake is OK too, but I think SuSE is a lot better - I tried them
both). It is very easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to use. I
just bought it 2 or 3 months ago, and have had no problems to speak of
with it. I had no Linux knowledge and had previously used only Windows
98 SE and ME.
