Susan,

There are a couple ways to accomplish this:

1.  On the left div add a right border.  On the right div add a left border.
Overlap the divs by one pixel.

2.  Add a background image to the containing div so that when repeated
vertically creates the center line.  In this case, you would not want to
place the columns absolutely.

3.  Use a table and put the border on the TD.  Put the content divs within
the table cells (note: not recommended)

HTH,

Many Linux distros now offer "Boot from CD" versions of Linux.  These are
often a good way to get your foot in the door with Linux.  You can go to
places such as OSDisc.com for ready to go CD's, or you can download ISO
Files (bootable CD images) and burn them to disk with your favorite CD
burner software.
