I keep mucking around with my computer all the time, unsatisfied with W95
for a long time. For quite a while I been thinking of installing linux,
instead of upgrading to satisfy W95's hunger. However I would like to know
if there is someone (with expertise) who would do an initial instalation of
linux for me, I live in Hoppers Crossing- Victoria. For a fee of course. I
would appreciate an answer, especially regarding how good is linux for
hardware support of new things, like a Hewlet Packard 5100 FB Scanner, and
an Epson 4200 printer, things I could buy at last if I didn't have to
upgrade. Also I own a KTX 33.6 modem. Thanks for answers.
