Hi all!
 
The first thing I want to do is be = sure the=20 address I have put in my address book is right.
 
The second is to ask a series of=20 questions.
 
I have a Compaq presario computer and = wonder if I=20 can have a reasonable expectation that Linux in any flavor will = work on=20 it.
 
If it does not, are there any = particular vendors=20 or machines that are known to work well?
 
Finally, what are P. C. M. C. I A. = boards? =20 I derive from context that they may be NIC cards or have something to = do with=20 laptop computers.
 
Thanks much and enjoy!
Bruce
