List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Well, I have finally decided to take a trip into this brave new world of Linux to see what I can do with it. I will be using an old 200 mhz computer with a full linux install that has an internal dectalk card which I don't think is supported at this point. Does anyone know if it will be? The other alternative is to run the redhat Linux that I got off their ftp site and burned on to cd's but not sure what to do with it from dos. on my new and very fast computer. I will be getting some help with that soon. Any advice for novices? I hope to get good enough with this to run a lan with internet connectivity as well. Then if I stay with it, I might even learn this pearl language and start programming again. God, what a thought! -- Charlie Crawford.
