You can make it a dual boot system if you have the disk space. You could
just add a second disk if you dont.

I saw a copy of RedHat (at least) in Computer Cash'n'Carry (cambridge st)
a while ago. I also saw a copy in Boffins (but not recently). You could
do a mail order and pay a total of less than $20. If your in the Met area
you can borrow a slightly old version (redhat 4.1) from me.  Mail order
would be your best option.

A mail list has been started. Have you sent mail to  Gary Allpike
<spice@q-net.net.au> to register your interest in PLUG.
