Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Hi L.D., if you want to learn how to use Linux, and do not want to buy a bakery just because you want to eat a cake, I would recommend you get DOSLinux, or LoopLinux, as it is called now. It is a minimal Linux that starts out very small (23 MB), but can be extended by downloading packages from the Internet. Linux probably does not get any simpler than that, so it would be a good choice. I have it sitting on my harddisk for several years now, and found it capable of doing anything that I need Linux to do. Best of all, it can be installed on a DOS partition, so it neither needs a boot manager nor fiddles with your partition layout. And you can start it by simply running a batch file whenever you need it.
