Like others, I agree with this distinction.  I could not
get Fedora configured like I need it and I could not get
Ubuntu installed at all.

I need to be able to see the other computer folders, copy file
to and from the computers, do Winpop-like IM messaging, etc.
I backup one machine to the other - sometimes with the GUI and
often times with Perl scripts or batch files.

I'm no expert on command line interfacing, but I do a lot of
perl programming and execution via the command line.  I always
have one or two terminal boxes running.

I will contact you when I get going on Linux again - probably
through this list.  I sure appreciate the offer for help.



Mike
