Ready to take the plunge into Linux and XML....

[s.t. bischoff]

Hi Heather,

w3schools <http://www.w3schools.com/> might be a good place to start with
XML. You'll find useful tutorials and other resources, and it's free. In
terms of linux, I've been using Ubuntu for about five years with no
problems, no Microsoft, and no viruses.

Good luck,
Shannon
