Thanks for the help all and sorry for the delay. Was kind of busy the past few days.
Ive come to the conclusion that there is something weird about my monitor. It really is a very VERY old one so I really dont blame Linux for it. Its an AT&T monitor our computer vendor gave me as soon as our original monitor stopped working. I dont even think they make monitors now. In windows it doesd support 800*600 but it really is kind of blurry.... Anyway Im waiting to try Linux after we get a new monitor. I had fun with Yoper , Mandrake, Ubuntu ( a bit of trouble with the sudo command

) and also Fedora Core 3 which I couldnt install because at various points it wouldnt install a file and reboot and restart the process , I think there might be something wrong with the media I wrote.
Anyway , whats the impacts of installing Lionux so many times on my hard drive. Has anyone noticed any kind of problems with their hard drives.?
