Thank you for your information about Ubuntu. I have tried installing the 
latest version of Ubuntu but I have again run into space problems. The 
advantage of Ubuntu 7.1 over Fedora V7 is that I was able to install all 
of the updates available and still have a little space in which to work. 
The only problem that I have had with 7.10 version of Ubuntu is that the 
Evolution Email System is still full of bugs and I have had to revert to 
using the Mozilla Thunderbird Email System instead which works OK.
Thanks
Gerry Hooper
