[NBLUG/talk] OS Alternatives.

[Steve Johnson]

Cool. I will read them..  I looked for info on this laptop before and 
only found a page in german =) My german is very very rusty.

Anyways I took the advice of everyone so far and downloaded the debian 
floppies, and it is installing now.. I think that was the solution.. I 
didnt realize RH had gotten a little bloated over the years =)

Debian is a good solution anyways, after all its what my desktop box has 
been running for about 2 months now.  So I am use to it.
