[Klug-general] Re: Using Linux (Fedora Core 1)

[Michael E. Rentell]

Since voting earlier today (Thursday) for Mandrake I've collected this 
Xmas' edition of Linux Format and there is a freeby copy of Fedora Core 
3. For fun I've just installed it on my laptop.

A breeze and it saw my network connection to the desktop and configured 
that and a tunnel through it to the Internet all by itself. That's even 
better than Mandrake.

I suppose that confuses the issue now.
