<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If you stay with the W2K installation, you can put in winmodems and the
recipients can get dial up Internet. That's lots cheaper than broadband
and probably will fit their senior needs - likely email and light
surfing.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can give you some advice and limited help getting
a W2K package together that could be cloned for the whole lot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you go Linux, Simply Mepis 3.4-3 will install in
less than a gig and has good hardware support, even for some
winmodems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW I would like any advice from the list relative
to a good dialup ISP in the area that supports Linux. </FONT></DIV>
