But any other ideas in the meantime are appreciated. I have run a few Linux bootable discs that I like but I still don't have much of a clue as to how to install them on my harddrive. Any Freeper help?

You might try a Ubuntu Linux distro. The Ubuntu website has a lot of links you might find helpful, even for installing other Linux distros.

I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on an 8-year old PC. It runs like a champ.

I wish I could run ubuntu. It doesn't like my new motherboard(Intel DG956WH), other Linux distros don't like it either so I'm sure it's a kernel thing. I read several posts of users complaining about it, so I'd expect them to get drivers for it in the next update. Until then, it's XP4ME.

Thanks for the link. I am working with a few Linux distros like SLAX, Elive and Xandros but I have no idea about transferring the files to a HD and making it bootable.

That's what I need to learn.
