It's 24 Nov 97  20:45,
We'll return to wfallen@tpgi.com.au and All's
discussion of What version and where do I get it

 wf> Am considering changing over to Linux from Win95 this Chrissy...
 wf> should provide some entertainment for me!

If you like fiddling, you'll _LOVE_ Linux! :-)

 wf> Was wondering if anyone could advise me where I may purchase what I
 wf> need and what I should be looking for.

One of the major distributions is the best way.  Which one you use is a
matter of choice, but Red Hat and Debian seem to be the most popular
here (I use Red Hat myself, and am very happy with it).

 wf> I use spreadsheets, databases, wordprocessing, and Bulletin Boards and
 wf> the Internet. Am also interested in all sorts of software which can
 wf> make life more interesting.

The best places for software are (1) the distributions generally come
with loads of applications, and (2) The Internet. :-)
