Hi Heather,<br><br><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank">w3schools</a> 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.<br>
<br>Good luck,<br>Shannon<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 9:46 PM, Heather Souter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hsouter@gmail.com" target="_blank">hsouter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Taanshi, <br><br>Well, I am finally ready to take the plunge into Linux and XML.... <br><br>I would like to know what the list suggests I read to get a better idea of what Linux (Ubuntu?) is all about. I have a MacBook Pro and purchased a partitioning program (Parallels) with at the same time. I have been thinking about putting a Windows OS on it but now I am thinking that perhaps I should put a Linux distribution instead.... One of the main reasons I have wanted to put a Windows OS is to be able to use some software (propriety and open source) I can't use (or at least don't think I can, LOL!) on my Mac.... <br>
<br>I also want to know if anyone knows of a good "dummies introduction to XML for non-computer-oriented community-linguist types"? I want to learn about it now that I don't feel as if I am having an allergic reaction at the mere mention of any kind of computer programming! LOL!<br>
<br>Well, I look forward to your suggestions....<br><br>Eekoshi pitamaa.<br><font color="#888888">Heather<br>
