Yes....I gather I will change "religions" soon...not that I was ever
religious about ms....

Just a couple of Q's if I may....

I have two '95 machines...both of which are more than capable of running
Linux from reading previous postings in this ng....my point is that I
will need to keep one as an ms machine for a variety of reasons...they
are networked with TCP/IP and IPX/SPX (for the odd game)....
will I be able to keep them networked (say under TCP/IP, or both) and
transfer files etc?
If necessary I could dual boot the one to have Linux but would prefer a
clean system with no ms on it at all.
Are there Linux apps that read word docs etc?...I assume at least RTF
format?....
and what about sharing hardware across the network (I only have one
CD-ROM drive and it will stay in the ms machine but I will be prepared
to swap it if necessary at least for the install)...

Thanks in advance....Bryan Lawson

Oh and any contacts for LUV (an email address)?
