    Welcome to LinuxForums!

    I hope you enjoy your time here on the boards! And since you mentioned an older computer, you might want to look at this poll for some ideas of which distro runs well on older kit.

    Again, Welcome!

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I have a very, very long way to go. To start, I'm needing help picking a distro. My specs are in the newbie forum here I'm guessing that DSL may end up being what is most recommended for my situtation.
