Linux here and forever!
listening to Magic Flute: Overture K. 620 -- Mozard
After installing RedHat Linux 7.2, my primary goal has been to get my PCI card for accessing the internet using the Wireless LAN and DSL to work . . . let me repeat . . . to work.
Since it's licensed under the Gnu Public License (GPL), I felt safer installing this operating system than Microsoft Windows 98. My step-dad installed Microsoft Windows 98, whose license says it's for one computer ONLY, on two computers. By itself, it isn't that much of a crime . . . Then again, I'm expecting, because I posted this, some representatives from Microsoft will come and audit us.

OF course, I know that you don't care, since you're 97% likely to be running some form of Windows 9x and XP. (statistics retrieved from memory of yours truly, may not be based on polls)

the Fifth Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test
So I am someone violent, wrathful and gloomy, and a virtuous non-believer. I'll have to take the test again, but so far, it's one out of 3. :-)

Well, I've installed GNU Red Hat Linux on Saturday night, have tried fiddling with it for two days. It's pretty fun, kind of like DOS except more advance. I think it's a perfect blend between a graphical interface and a shell prompt. Each is capable of the same function as the other, and each has an advantage of its own.
Unfortunately, I'm not have to get online. If there's anyone who's willing to help by giving me an idea of making Siemens PCI Wireless LAN connect to the access point that uses DSL, please help, write or leave a comment here.
Since I'm a newbie at Linux, I'm devouring through all the Linux literature that has be posted online, but I either have trouble understanding or am scared by the word "compiling software." I'll see how to compile things, but until then, if there's a good tutorial I can follow, it'll be great.
