[lug] new to Linux \\ a couple of thoughts

[bill ehlert]

**  a couple of thoughts:

    red hat 8.0 is just out, i hear.
    i've heard it's good for newbies
    (such as you and me both, brother),
    but i haven't done anything with it.

    mandrake 8.2 is also supposed to
    be good for the same thing.

    disks available for about $10.50
    from:

            cheapbytes.com

   (who might also have RH 8.0 )
