[ale] My Linux experience, so far

[Billy049]

I tried Ubuntu and had the Best Data modem up and running in just a few 
minutes.  I was well pleased with that.
Then I installed Kubundu.  I love the colors, but hours have passed and 
still the modem isn't working.  The docs say there is supposed to be a 
wizard in KPPP but I have yet to see it.  Sometimes the mouse quits 
working and rebooting will bring it back to life.  I'm just scratching 
the Linux surface but it is interesting.  As free time increases, I'll 
probably get more involved with it.  A magazine oriented toward the new 
user would be helpful so I'll look for something of that nature. 

I booted each one on my laptop from the CD.  Ubundu wouldn't work past 
loading but Kubundu did well, just a tad slow from
running off the CD.

Carry on.
