The current version from Caldera is the easiest to install and is designed
to make your system dual bootable so you don't have to dedicate a machine.
You can order directly from www.caldera.com, or I've seen it at Fry's and
Best Buy.


Red Hat is the other major distribution, but I think the Caldera version
will be easier for you to deal with.  I would buy the distribution instead
of downloading, the time you save is worth the $50 or so it costs.

Well thanks to Wirt, I am now part of the "sky searchers" helping  "find
ET".
I set up both of the PCs at home to assist in the data analysis.
Boy is there a big difference in the speed of a Pentium 133 with 32MB and a
Pentiun 233 with 64MB.

While looking around their web page, I was suprised at the average compute
time listed for Win machines verses
those running Linux.  Now I am searching for a free copy of Linux to see if
I can replicate the difference.
Anyone know where I can download a reasonable stable and easy to install
version?
