Nice one, thanks. I'll Google the ones you've told me and see what comes up. Is Linux really difficult to install?

I just installed suse 9.3 on my parents pc, and it turned out to be much less painful than installing windows. The installing process was 100% graphical and it had some reasonable good plug and play features.. Popped in a bluetooth adaptor into the usb, and got a popup box saying: "found new hardware: bluetooth adaptor blah blah. Do you want to configure it now?"

Just as easy with usb cameras, flash disks and so on.. Never had to touch the cmd line once.

But if you already like amigaos, then why not get hold of an amigaone?

Suse linux 9.3 is in my opinion much easier to install than windowsxp, unless you have some tricky unsupported hardware. It also autodetects and setup things like usb camera, usb disks and such when you plug them in. It even found my blutooth adaptor and 1min later i was transferring files between my nokia 6600 and my suse 9.3 box.

Everything was done using a graphical installer or gui. I never had to touch the cmd line at all.
