here an interesting white paper on linex clients i ran across
this might help you, might not...
the whole thing is written in the perspective as a linex newbie, but takes you through trying to get your linex box to run what 98 will
just like water off a duck\'s back... I AM HERE.
for CMOS help, check out my CMOS tut?

When you get around to downloading a distro you might want to check out LinuxISO which has ISO files of most of the popular distros like Mandrake, Slackware, etc. Its probably a bit easier to download one large file using a download resumer than lots and lots of small ones, unless your on a super fast connection. Last time I checked I think they had RH8 up.

Hi,
OK .. this might be a bit off topic but I see you guys talking about "redhat is good to begin with" ... now I've been using redhat for a reasonable time ...what would you guys recommend to me ( or for the more advanced user ) to be using as a replacement ... another kind of Linux distro or a BSD distro???
Sorry if it is off topic but I was just wondering!
Many thnx,

When I first installed linux I had the exact same questions. The people here are great at answering them.
On mine, Windows can not see the linux partions , and as a default linux cannot see windows. You can mount the windows partition to linux if you want, either manually or have it configured to do so at the startup. I am not sure about how to get the windows to access the linux. I'm sure it can be done.

BSD. Preferably Open BSD, but Free BSD is also good...
and shipma, i agree with owensleftfoot, Mandrake is definitely the way to go for you.. but if you do end up having to partition it yourself, you make three partitions(actually, one is a partition inside a partition) a linux swap, very tiny, with the label "/" that is the root partition, then a linux extended, this alows you to create a linux partition on the same disk as a fat32. and I think the one you put inside the extended is ext2 or something, its been a while since I've had to do that. have fun
