Surely that should be :-

Windows and Apple products are for those with more
money than sense, and are often feature-poor compared
to Linux products?

BTW Martin I'm going to rebuild my Pemtium I as a Suse
Linux, BUT it has to be able to get on net...I'm going
Cable.  The cable company guy asked what machne I
wished to use, and before I could answer said "not the
apple", so I did not think asking him about Linux
would be useful.

So the likely setup will be my Win XP box connected to
the internet via a cable modem through a network
connection OR a USB.  

With a network conection it wil need to go into a hub,
and therefore be available to all machines on the
network.  With a USB it will have to be 'shared' from
the XP by the otehr machines [Apple, Win 2000 and
Linux].  

Any thoughts ideas or such, I'm worried that a network
option will not work via a hub, and that the
alternative will be a pig to set up!
