This is my first post, so please be understanding.
I'm looking for the most stable version of Kbuntu that has the Amateur Radio programs on it.
I'm really new to Linux. I'm 61 with health and mental issues. I sometimes can't 'remember' things or express them in word or on paper. Part of this is due to having mini-strokes. But, I'm going to do the best I can for as long as I can.
My IWill K-266 Plus Athlon 1.2 gig/1gig of P-133 Dram and a 78 gig WIN hard drive, suddenly rebooted and now says to insert the CD (Win 2K Pro) or the boot disk. Now, there is a one second beep, then a one second pause, then another beep repeating it's self.
I'm going to get a tower case with a large power supply and try to re-mount the mother board, all the hardware and use a 37 gig hard drive for WIN 2K Pro, as I need it to run Ham Radio DeLuxe, a Win only program that controls my Icom 706 Mark II-G, all-band, all-mode amateur transceiver.
But, I do have a 15 gig hard drive that I would like to put the most stable version of Kbuntu on to run (not dual-booted) for my OTHER stuff.
Eventually, the hard drives will go on seperate machines and the Kbuntu computer (hopefully) will have a very LARGE (500 gig) hard drive installed so I can put, legally downloaded and paid for MP3 music and pictures from off the Web. I'd like to be able to take the pictures and music and make a changing screen-saver with it for my own, personal use. I had this on the WIN drive, until it crashed
.
At present, I'm on my wife's Sony Vaio with XP Home on it. She's visiting relatives but should return by Wednesday. I'm not all that familiar with HOME, but I know she does have some sort of "burning software" for CD's and photo's.
Now, to the Question: Which version of Kbuntu would YOU recommend that I try to download and "burn"? Please post it here and I will check back. Any help or suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
