I'm not a native English speaker or writer. NP. I was not trying to rebuke you. Many "native English speakers" make much more serious errors consistently. You do just fine. I make my share of mistakes - especially since I started using the web so long ago. > > Ok, so what would you guys suggest using on a laptop, if CentOS was not an > option?

I don't have one, but with the holiday in the US, you might not get many replies today. The last time this topic was raised, opinions were all over the place. If you google for "laptop" and Centos together with site:centos (maybe a few more words to narrow the search, like "distro", "preferred", etc.) in the google advanced search area (it has a specific box for the site so you can just enter "centos" there if you choose to do so) you'll probably find the previous thread fairly quickly. > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill
