Thanks for your input doug! Would be great if this Linux hating computer would run DSL. I bought it 4+ years something ago from Dell. What I didn't know is that it seems impossible to install any Linux distro and make a dual boot setup. I've tried many times. Allocating free space on the SSD but to no avail. It just doesn't work. Some of the newer Linux distros I can run from an usb drive and that works pretty good. But install no way. Another thing is that I use a multilingual database that is only supported by Windows. So it's like a catch 22 situation: Whatever I choose it won't be perfect! Sometimes you can't have both. I had some success with Wine installing the actual database but it wasn't a good solution. That was like 20 years ago or so. At present it might go smoother. Anyway the situation is what it is. I had a lot of fun with the 50 MB DSL around that time and I try to get DSL-2024 to work now on this Linux hating computer! Have fun with DSL doug!
