I had a quick look at the mandrake page you mentioned to someone else
on the list, would that do everything
I need and I how can I tell if I could use it without getting help
all the time? Can it have a network with a Win box? Would I need
help getting ADSL set up and which machine would connect to the
net?  Would we need a server/firewall machine?

Also I WOULD need help installing it, this I am certain as my
Debian does not have sectors?? as my home dir kept getting full it is
just all in one 'lump' on my 6GB drive. Also where can I buy Mandrake?

Could I pay someone knowledgable to get it installed and how would
i keep all my current files, as I have heaps of stuff I need, mainly
text files and jpgs?

Also I just turned my mutt mail 'off' and X has stayed open ever since,
but I have NO idea about this, or why and how everything could
suddenly change !? 

Sorry for all the Q's, hope someone knows the answers!


Thank you
