redhat 5 had a package manager - yes, graphical. It had linuxconf - from setting up aliases to ethernet cards, users blah blah. Great gui. Actually it was 5.2 that had all the goodies. It ran on 32 MB RAM. And it ran wordperfect 5.1 perfectly under dosemu. It had a real good filemanager -yes, better than windows explorer. I have the cds, so if you want to come and verify it - be my guest. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
