Troopy,
Thanks for the lead, I would love to find an alternative to windows that I was comfortable with, it's the " I don't know" thing that get in the way, as my old "Pappy" used to say, "you can do anything, if you just take the time".
Thanks again.
Kevin.

Well my old pappy never had a computer I'm sure, I've tried setting up a bootable USB Linux mint and or Ubuntu, both got half way through 900MBs and failed, tried a couple of times, there goes a bit of data!!!! also tried the bootable USB and it came up with an error, saying the usb wouldn't be bootable, tried a couple of times with a good size USB-120 gig, I tried the sites that were mentioned in this thread but neither worked, maybe "Bill" will miss me if I change from "Mickysoft", any ideas???

Download a bootable .iso file for a CD, burn it to CD then boot from that. That will give you an idea how it all works, but you won't be able to save any system changes you make.
