My daughter is leaving for college, major unknown as of yet. I am relaoding her PC, a P-200, 128 MB RAM, 6.5 Gig HDD.
She wants Windows as the OS. College is hard enough without fighting the OS, so who cares. I have ten or fifteen legal copies of Win98 and Win95 around. I am more interested in the software than the OS. I loaded the AVG virus scanner and updated it. I installed winzip, Acrobat, Gimp, Open Office, and Opera. What am I missing? If your kid was leaving for college, what Open Source app would you NOT want to forget. I have until about 11:00 AM Monday, 01/20/2003 to do the installs. I am on broadband, so download time is trivial. I appreciate any suggestions. Especially about Open Source firewalls for Windows. She will be one a campus dial-up, so I doubt it will be a big deal, but if anyone knows of one... ===== Warmest Regards, Doug Riddle http://www.dougriddle.com http://fossile-project.sourceforge.net/ http://www.libranet.com -- "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty Teeth." - George Washington -- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
