A friend suggested Linux...I thought what in the world is that??? I did some snooping and found Linux Lite and he said "go for it, in fact, bring your tower to me and I will put it on for you...should only take 30 minutes"...about 4 days later...I finally got it back. He said for some reason the disk drive would only take the install so far then freeze up...he didn't give me much hope, but he somehow by-passed my disk drive and the install gave new life to my 2004 or 2005 Windows XP eMachine. I don't think this PC was this fast when brand new! Anyway...I am new to the world of Linux, so I am looking for a lot of answers and tips. I hope I don't make a pest of myself. One question to start with...is Linux Lite compatible with Skype? Thanks for letting me join this forum!
