It is easy to load a distribution. It is easy to just use a distribution as me running a P2 windoz 95 vintage laptop with Puppy Linux from a CD , , , and being extremely happy that USB drivers activated the port that eventually led to running off a USB flash drive or running an external hard drive.

I am like to tinker/ am not rich so all my hardware is old. Doing it yourself is easy. For me with 2 years experience the biggest negative is a scanner and photo manipulation. I have not found anything that works so I have two hard drives/ OS's I can think in.

Common stuff as email/ writing/ spread sheets worked out of the box and is fast. David
