Thanks! Bill Longman has really taken the lead in this project, and it 
would not be happening without him. He is the Web guru for the site, and 
I also want to thank his place of work (Sharp Laboratories) for lending 
us some bandwidth and storage space, at least during this trial phase.

Well, Suzy counts as a "mommie-o." ;-)

Thanks, again. We have a page with tips for Linux in our "Learning More" 
section:

<http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/Learning+More/Learning+More+about+Linux>

I will add your suggested site to our page.

By the way, although I cannot speak for Bill, I would not be surprised 
if he would be happy to have you (or any other Yellow Dog mailing 
listers) contribute to the growing FAQ (in fact -- no pun intended -- I 
thought you were already on board). Contact Bill directly 
<mailto:longman AT sharplabs DOT com> for a username and password.

Is this a trick question? ;-) Do you really have only 80 MB of RAM? That 
would be the *major* reason for the molasses. Otherwise, Fedora (or, at 
least, the Red Hat distribution that preceded it) is the bog standard 
distribution of PC Linux. I would be surprised if it had not been pretty 
heavily bug tested by "the Bazaar."

Best wishes,
Clint
