Subject: [wellylug] Installing Linux
Ok I am new to Linux, never used it and basically just want to be a user if
that makes sense. I am sick of windows but I know I will need to use it from
time to time as it is my Laptop I use to do all my customer invoicing on
with specific software.Because I am new to this I wouldn't have a clue on
what the best "any idiot can use" version is, plus the possibility of using
some of my windows software on it as well.I use the laptop mainly to bill my
customers using a program called "cashbook complete" so would need a version
that would allow this to run, or some software I can run on linux to replace
this.I am not sure if there is anyone who could possibly do an installation
of it on my laptop either as again I am new to this so an installation may
be way over my head.My Laptop is an asus Z900u athlon 64bit with a built in
wireless network cark which I use to connect to the network and the
internet.If anyone can and wants to help out please email me

Xandros  (www.xandros.com <http://www.xandros.com> ) is a very user freindly
installation based on Debian. Depending on the content it may be free or
charged for.
Codeweavers Crossover is available (again in some versions) that *may*
support your cashbook program .
The free downloadable version  is available here
http://www.xandros.com/products/home/desktopoc/dsk_oc_intro.html
<http://www.xandros.com/products/home/desktopoc/dsk_oc_intro.html>  it has a
30 day trial version of crossover .
