Gentlemen, I installed Bodhi Linux on the ancient laptop and it is working very well so far. Haven't tried installing printer capability yet (to my wireless Brother printer). I will definitely also look into Snow...I am intrigued. On my other, more stable laptop, I dual-booted (Windows 7 & Mint Linux KDE). Given the excellent advice, I am now thinking of wiping out the Mint KDE partition and using Mint Debian edition instead. 1. Is there a safe way of doing this? 2. What desktop environment comes with the Debian edition? a. Or, what would you recommend ? b. And, how would I get/install it? Thanks for the advice on setting up the printer setup! I'll try using CUPS and the adjustments you mentioned. -- Nicholas MWCIA |7701 France Ave S Ste 450 Mpls MN 55435|952.897.6426 |nicholas.korsakov at mwcia.org<mailto:nicholas.korsakov at mwcia.org> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
