Well, since so many of you have e-mailed me, I will just post to the list.
This weekend, I will be working on getting the files, and then installing Linux.
As I really don't want to repartition, I think I will be installing it in a DOS file system, and using Loadlin. If it turns out that I use it more than I think I will, I will look into putting it on its own partition when I get my new system. I really can't repartition the HD because this computer will eventually be going to my brother, and he won't use Linux.
