re: Farewell to an old friend ! Monday, February 16, 2009 at 2:55 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (5127 messages posted) Its a Dell laptop (which is sold either/or, so I knew there was basic compatibility). Tried Puppy from a CD just to familiarise myself, actually first of all to learn how to rescue HDD data with a dead Windows OS (not mine, I'm all backed up !). Experimented with Fedora (as a friend had a DVD available). Played around with several others, settled on Ubuntu for now as I found it the least confusing (after all I'm a user really, not a mechanic other than by necessity). Installed without a single issue, been solid ever since. Better stop there (as this is really a Windows forum isn't it ?) other than to say the only barrier to using OpenOffice is fear itself :-) Regards M Written in response to: re: Farewell to an old friend !
