You'll have to buy a copy of RedHat for that. As "a new > convert form windows" I thought you might want to know. Fedora is about 1000 X as stable as Windows. Believe it or not, I don't *want* to be a Linux guy, or a SysAdmin nor track versions of 100 software packages nor subscribe to a half-dozen security forums, nor ... I just want to USE my computer to do what I wanted to do with it. I don't fix my own car either. So I use Fedora and let the experts handle the software updates. I've tried other systems, and, yes, it was nice to have a lean mean computing machine and to have complete control and all that -- It also was incredibly expensive on my time, which is my most limited resource, right ahead of the almighty dollar. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
