Hey wdhpr,

Yes the good old days...
My parents bought a Commodore 64, but I was too young to really appreciate it.
I do remember using an IBM PC where I would load the DOS floppy and boot (no hard drive), I would save data to that very same floppy.

I would be glad to give a brief overview of the kernel and then go over using Shells and the command line (w/ examples). You will understand the Root directory when we go over the command line.

I won't be much help choosing a particular distro, because they are all basically the same to me (same kernel and set of basic apps). As I said in another post the most noticeable difference in distros is what they choose to include for a GUI.
All distros can be modified.
