Bug
Dear csorhand,
I have tried that many a times but my system is not so strong to meet the needs of newer operating systems. My specs are:->
AMD Athlon64 3200+ pro
Ati Radeon Xpress 200 chipset mobo
512 MB DDR RAM
80 GB Seagate HDD
I bought it in August 2006. It's quite old now.

I wanted to learn more about Unix & Linux and this can be accomplished only through using them.

Thanks for your advice. But if you know the answer to my quest please tell me, I'll take the risks.

Thanks in advance!Smilie
