Thanks, for your replies.

Gowator, I can see myself being a Debian dude for SURE. I read that if one uses the live distros, they will most likely end up using the distro it is based on. I understand that. I don't know what is different from, say Debian and SuSE, Red Hat, Mandrake, and others.......but, that I guess, is down the road. As you say....I thin k I'll just 'enjoy the ride' for now.

Unlike windows, once I get bored enough here in prepackaged-land......I can go as deep as I want.

Thanks again for your replies.
