As a newbe-to-nominal Linux user am delighted by (live) Knoppix 6.4: it sees Windows' FAT32 partitions by a mere click on its interface and can save files on C:\ without any fuss.

It was Knoppix that got me hooked on Linux! There's heaps and heaps of other distros too. I encourage you to try some of them ... eg Ubuntu and its variants, Suse, Fedora, Puppy, Damn Small Linux to name a few. Some are good general purpose systems and some go well on smaller (and/or older) systems. VirtualBox, available for Windows and Linux, gives you a "computer in a sandbox" ... lets you play around around and try things which would otherwise put your computer at risk. Michael
