Hi all, This is my first post to the list. I'm hoping to be able to make it along to this upcoming meeting so I thought I might chime in here. I've played around with Linux for a few years, though never seriously. Now I'm looking to blow away my win2k machine and replace it with Slackware. I've done this before and haven't had *too* many problems, but now I have a Saturn Cable internet connection so will need to get that up and running as well as some sort of firewall. I was wondering if this is the sort of thing I could get some help with if I somehow managed to get my perscom to the meeting?
