Okay im 16 interested in modular programming, learning it, and graphics and
animation.  For this iw as advised to install linux.  However I dont want to
get rid of windows because i have a little brother and father who use the
same computer.  I was then advised to partition my drive.  So now im going
to do that if it is advisable.  I wonder though what precautions, ie drivers
I will need to save and fi you can lend any help.  Right now im most worried
about my mouse which is a corldess optic logitech mouse.  Im also worrid
about my cable modem which is made by 3com.  Finally what linux os should i
use that i can download for free, ie redhat mandrake etc etc?  Please help

If you were a true computer enthusiast, you would know the answers to
all of your questions and you wouldn't be in need of dire help!
Watch what you call yourself.

Hey, c'mon: take it easy with him... Never been a newbye? And weren't you an
enthusiast then? And do you know the answers now? If so, why don't you tell
him? You seem a bit full of yourself... C'mon, he's just 16.. Don't you think?

cheers
