 I'm well aware of the contributions of the GNU projectTo the extent
that you personally have been responsible thank you.
 I am also aware of your preference for the term GNU/Linux. I may be
mistaken but my feeling was that GNU is not to blame for my problems
so I deliberately omitted such mention.
 In any case, I intended only to point out my situation.

 I didn't need an expert for Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro, or Vista.
I spent 30 years as a computer programmer with a fair amount of unix
experience. I think I should be able to do a simple install.
 I think my issue may be with my ISP but I don't really care to pursue
the issue. Life is short.
I live 20 miles east of Dayton, Ohio. If anybody would like to come
over to help, feel free.
