Yes, the distros have the same basic commands, like ls for a directory listing and cat for reading plain Unix text files, but some have different packages, such as OpenOffice.org or Mozilla Firefox.

This is a test of the Really Sucky Email Client system. Again, this is only a test.
(Outlook is the only client that will sync with my Palm...)

Hi again Andy, it's the pest again! :)
I tried your recommendation to hit "I" during start up. I even see where it says to hit I for interactive startup. I've tried it several times, and for some reason, the computer flys right by it. I even tried "I" followed by the enter key, and still the same. I also mucked around in the Grub menu a little, but to no avail. Perhaps I should go to an installathon, or read more about Linux as the rest of you probably have. I'm somewhat proficient in Windows, but like many have become disappointed with it in some ways, and am interested in trying an alternative. Do you happen to know if the commands in Linux are "distro specific"? Or is there and underlying system that is the same for all distros? Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it.
Regards,

I think what I might do next is try to disable the Ethernet driver from starting.
IIRC bringing Eth0 up is in the part of the initscripts you can elect to enable or disable if you type 'I' during the startup sequence? This is totally from my dim memory.
If that is so, hit the 'I' key when you see "press 'I' to enter interactive startup" and when (if!) it asks, do not run the script to bring up eth0.
Then once you boot with no eth0, you can have a look in the logs to see if there is any diagnostic, and consider to bring eth0 up by hand while doing a tail -f /var/log/messages in another window to see what you can see.
