Annick, post your Cpu speed like Pll 450 ghz ram like 512mb Hardrive like 20 gig Cdrom or floppy or dvd drives also.

You obviously have an older computer. What I recommend to those kind of people is Xubuntu, the Xfce port of Ubuntu. Just visit Ubuntu.com or Xubuntu.com and read about it there. Your specs are good enough, I think, that you won't need to settle with something like Pupply Linux or Dam Small Linux. Ubuntu is a good choice for people starting out on Linux. Xfce will look a little better than ME, too. As for your other concerns: To install it, find a friend who can burn .iso images and have them download it, burn it, and give the CD to you. Xubuntu comes with AbiWord processor, but a better selection is OpenOffice.org. To get the latest STABLE version, look at these complicated instructions. http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html#linux If you want the beta, which (to me) has presented no problems yet, then use the following EASY guide: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/08/test-drive-openoffice-3-beta-in-ubuntu/ Hope Linux works for you! (Almost anything would over ME, haha.) [Modified by: Ataris on July 30, 2008 10:53 PM]
