Need Help, The "Little Brothers, Friends of the Elderly" organization in the Twin Cities area helps older people live an interesting life, especially those whose spouses/significant others are deceased. It is primarily a non-profit supported by contributions of money and time by volunteer helpers/workers. You may or maynot be familiar; sorry for verbage if you are. O.K. they replaced all the office computers recently and now have a dozen or so which they would like to place in elder/client homes for their use. I have volunteered to erase all office data on hard drive and install email and word processing software. Now we are getting to the problem; the computers have MS Windows 2000 Pro as OS and most have only 15 gig hard drives (a couple only have 2 gig drives - those probably won't be used). The boxes are password protected and the pw's are not always available. So my thinking is to reformat & install Linux (my experience is quite limited). I have downloaded Ubuntu 5.10 at home, wrote to a CD and installed on a box. It works great but required considerably more than 15 gigs. Is the a Linux distro plus email and word processor which can be put into approx 10 or 12 gig drive space?? BTW - if you happen to be available during business hours Mon - Fri, you are welcome to help with project. Thanks, Steve -- Jeni & Steve's address now is aa0p at arrl.net
