Slint may be a better bet. With slint those running on command line operating systems have a choice to start in console which is command line or graphical which is desktop like windows. Even if you start in console you can go into graphical if you need it. Unfortunately we have either a garbage router or a garbage network which is preventing a good download of slint here. slint is on https://slackware.uk/slint/ and the iso to download is iso5 if a modern computer is being used. That is why I asked the questions I did earlier. Never recommend anything ahead of a needs assessment. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I know nothing about Linux platform but would like to try Linux for myself. The problem is I wouldn’t know which version to try out first and that is one reason for joining this group. I am a blind pensioner living in Scotland UK. IF you could provide me with help/advice on which version of Linux would be best for me I would appreciate it indeed, Billy > > > > Sent from Mail for Windows > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list mailing list > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
