[Dxspider-support] Fedora - newbie warning

[Stephen M. Murphy]

Hi Danny,

 From my own experience, I started with the node running under Windows 
until I got comfortable with Linux.   DXSpider runs well under Windows 
(I was using 2000 Pro), but it is much more stable under Linux; it never 
locks-up, dumps, blue screens, or any other such nasty business.

Since then, I've tried several different distributions, and found that I 
like Ubuntu the best.  This is a subjective preference; I've generally 
found it best to stay away from discussions about religion, politics 
and  Linux distributions, hi.

73,

Steve N8NM
