I've been trying to find reading materials on different types of
terminals that I can connect to my Linux machine, and one that was
mentioned in the Serial HOWTO and another HOWTO that I read was an X
Terminal. The only 411 I could acquire from these documents is that X
Terminals (or emulations thereof) run best on an Ethernet connection...
personally, I thought the concept was impossible (but, then again, I
*do* come from a Windows environment... ::sigh::).
Anyway, I am wondering if there are any really useful resources on the
Internet that describe the functionality of X Terminals, and I'm
wondering where I could get such equipment. My use of an X terminal is
simply so that I don't have to buy 10 other 486's to run Linux in every
spot where I want to run the Internet.
My second question is on WINE. I'm wondering how successful it is thus
far, and how speedy the emulation is. I'm considering installing it on
my Linux box to run programs that my family uses (for example, my sister
uses Juno emailing software, and would like to use it on my Linux box,
when the other computer in the house is in use, and my brother would
like to use Microsoft Works to type his reports, etc.) Any information
on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
