So apologies as I seem to bail out on Linux. When I eventually purchase a new Mac I intend to dual boot with Ubuntu or something similar as I will have a better choice of full blown distros rather than cut down one aimed at low end machines.
No need to apologise. The only thing I can offer at this point is that some time in the future you should try Linux on more modern hardware, It is true that lightweight distros run quite well on older hardware but they tend to have a slightly steeper learning curve and often don't have quite the same user base as a "full fat" distro.
That's a very true comment really. When you thin things down they aren't as user friendly, just compare Windows 9x to any of the NT/2000/XP series and you find a whole new world of pain :)
Thanks Adam
