Thank you for the courteous reply, I've registered at your vista site. My
major complaint with Vista is Messenger, video works, no sound or audio,
along with 100's of others, nothing ACER or on the newsgroups works. I've
tried about every version of Linux there is, well to me it seems like every
version, everyone except Ubuntu has given me real headaches. I'll have to
work out details of creating a partition for it on the laptop, any
recommendations on doing that? I've a 160 gig set as C: & D:, using D: for
data.
Nice to see a fellow Canadian so involved in helping others.
Take care.
