HI All, I have managed to persuade my work that having Linux as my operating system on my laptop will still allow for me to carry out my work as needed. I want to have Linux as my operating system so I can learn how to use it properly by using it every day, and not having to change from Windows 2000 or XP to Linux at home.
I will be having a Linux laptop, Red hat 7.2, on a Think Pad A20m. Real nice machine. I will be wanting to log on to a Windows NT 4 Domain and access network shares and documents, and printers. I have installed the samba client. I am downloading Open Office, and Java 1.4. I have a Palm Pilot that I will want to Synchronize with my Linux box. It runs in a USB Cradle ?? Is USB Palm supported under Linux ??? I have installed Red Hat, and put Xi-man gnome on it as I have heard that evolution will allow for access to an Exchange mail server and also allow calendaring and scheduling. At at later date, I will be wanting to make a HP PCMCIA CD burner work with Linux. Some help or guidance on the Kernel compiling and the mounting statement would be handy. I have a copy of Vmware if it turns out I absolutely have to have windows of some variety for a specific application. I have some Linux experience, enough to do an install configure basic networking and printing, local printer, and some very basic text editing skills. If anyone could suggest somewhere to go for some tips or hints on how to manage making Linux my desktop in a Windows environment, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully to respond. Cheers for now, -- Shane A.
