Thanks for the kind words, Bradley.
I should add that, until recently, I was on dial-up, which made updating via
internet impractical, so I just used to update via the DVD install set when a
major new release of the distro came out - this meant I had a use for the
'abandoned' partition that the last-but-one OS was in. In effect I used to
alternate partitions, so it wasn't entirely a wasted partition.
But I hope, between your comments and mine, the OP can find something that
suits his requirements.
Cheers
cr
