<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks to all the people that made suggestions regarding my
network card problem, and I now realise that OpenLinux is probably not one of
the most widely used Linux distributions out there!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>At the same time that I bought OpenLinux, I also bought Red
Hat; so after a few more hours of editing configuration files, I decided that
I'd had enough of OpenLinux and it's network antics, and installed Red
Hat.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How joyous it was to see a complete installation automatically
detect all of my devices, and work first time! Needless to say, that it found my
trusty network card, and I'm now shuffling files between both computers at
home!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>One thing that I might mention, are two books that I bought
from Rellim Booksellers in Perth (Tel: 08 9321 5684) which have helped me
through troubled waters over the past few days are ("Teach Yourself Linux
in 24 Hours" [SAMS], ISBN:0672311623, AUS$34.95) and ("Running
Linux" [Oreilly & Associates], 1565921518, AUS$59.95). These two books
are possibly the best two sub-$100 book purchases that I have ever made. I
thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a Linux book
purchase.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm interested to know how many people are on this mailing
list. Anyone have any idea? Also, how many members does PLUG have, and how many
people usually turn up to meetings? Is there an annual fee?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
