Charles, Sorry..... wrong Linux. On every list everybody is talking about Lindows. That's the price for Lindows CD's that can be ordered by the members of "insiders program" which is $99. I thought at that price I would get the CD but it's free with a $10 S&H so I downloaded it. I'm on DSL and it took about an hour.
