I downloaded it months ago, but I'm testing another version of Linux

I inherited a new computer that my older brother had bought just before
he died, Mike. He had it long enough to install Windows on one
partition and SUSE Linux on the other. I've fired it up a couple of
times but of course have no passwords, so I may have to re-install Linux
to make it usable.

So...I was wondering which version of Linux you liked?

Hi Dave,

I am currently running Ubuntu on 2 machines and linux mint on a 3rd. Mint
is based upon Ubuntu, but already has most of the multimedia and non open
source codecs and plug-ins already installed. Basically works out of the
box. You should be able to install it on the root partition where Linux is
currently installed. If you don't touch the NTFS partition the
bootloader (grub) will add windows to the list of boot devices and then
you will have a dual boot machine.

Good luck,

Scott.
