I would like to do this with Linux if possible. It is just so much
more versatile. I might want to network this machine once I have the
basic requirements in place. Also, BL is the first thing that works
really well on this Compaq IA-1 besides Midori which was hard to add
packages on. Thanks for all the suggestions though!

Specifically what can lxpic do that xli (in BL3) cannot do?
And what about xv (which also runs on BL3) -- is lxpic better
than xv?

Do they display with higher quality than xli? xv?

How does it compare to xli? xv?

mplayer does video and it runs in BL3.

I realize that you guys have old DOS programs that you
really like; however, since this is a BasicLinux discussion
group, it would be nice to relate things to BL3.

Cheers,
