Subject: RE: Tech: A case against Viruses - Linux??
Well, olddude, this is really exciting. I'm not ready to use Ubuntu on my Vista computer because of a number of programs I have to have, but I ran it from a CD and it was remarkable (but took about 3-1/2 years to load). My stepson and I installed it on his computer (keeping Windows XP on a separate partition), and it's working just grand. It recognized our Airlink 101 USB wireless connection, and connected to our wireless network without a problem. It also was able to connect to our HP printer through the network.

Two questions:
Can we run the DOS version of the Digital Tradition?
Do you really think we need no antivirus software?

We downloaded the desktop edition at http://www.ubuntu.com/
