Not much really, except that I would prefer to use a distro that
defaults to Gnome as opposed to KDE. Personally, I like Suse, but I
haven't got a clue how to get Gnome running. Besides it seems that
Gnome support was more of an afterthought for Suse, and Novell charge
for it as well.

Ubuntu is free as in beer, free as in freedom, and I think Mark
Shuttleworth is a helluva guy for making it happen. So I want to try
and stick with that distro.

If you hadn't guessed I am not exactly a L33t linux hacker, just
trying to breath new life into an old Dell server that I would like to
use for web design. I am predominently a MacOSX guy, and am looking
for a way to do my web work without spending $$$$ for Dreamweaver and
Photoshop. Bluefish and GIMP look mighty tasty.

Also, I want to say thanks to Bob Tracy for your suggestions. I might
download an old copy of Suse and just upgrade it with my 9.3 disc. It
won't help me get to Ubuntu, but it is worth a shot to see if it
works.

Thanks for the info guys. I am going to try and make it to the next
LUG meeting. I hope to see you there.

Cheers,
Nate
