[plug] Red Hat 6.2

[Bret Busby]

Anyone who wants a copy of RH 6.2; it is on a CD with the June 2000
issue of PC World Australia ($5.95), which is now available. BeOS 5.0
Personal is also on the CD, and the magazine runs through installing
them (not the whole Linux installation procedure), as a combination with
Windows, to be able to have the three OS's installed on the one PC.

The June 2000 issue of PC Authority ($6.95) compares Win2000, RH 6.2,
and BeOS 5, and has the BeOS 5 Personal, on its CD.

I do not know whether it has been mentioned by anyone, or, how many are
aware, but, one crappy feature of Win2k, is that, to get to the command
line prompt, the machine has to be rebooted, like rebooting previous
Windows versions into safe mode. So, troubleshooting, and, trying to use
a command line to ping, when an Internet connection appears slow, or not
working, or, the same with a LAN connection, are out of the question,
while running any GUI applications, or doing anything else.
