Hi
Im a Windows user. just bit acquaintance with Linux from Univ years.
My computer background is not bad. Ive been usin it since Commodore64
and DOS years.
Couple of times attempted for Linux but its very confusing..
Last year I wantted to setup a personal Web server in my attic. I
wanted to install Debian and Apache but I gave up and turn to Windows.
now server 2000 and IIS working.
( Why Debian? I like its name, also my friend recommended many years ago)
There is couple of reason. if you can help me, maybe you can make me
a Linux user
The system is old. Dual PIII with 440M/B. Dual Hotswap PSU. about
730Mb ECC. Dell Perf Quad 64bit Raid with 128Mb daughterBrd. 5 SCSI in
Hotsawp Cage. TapeDrv, DVD, floppy etc..
No problem with Hardware except wireless card. godd**n Airlink 101
card . There was a limited wireless no support for this card at that
time. I tried some generic drivers which I found on some linux sites.
I dont know how is it now.
Then I needed Remoteadmin program like Famatech's Remote
Administrator. something let me to see remote desktop visually (from
windows machine).
last problem was multiple choise linuxs itsef. many desktop, many tool
"where is that button?. I used it before. wait it was another program
to do same thing. this is better for that but other was better for
this". I usually go far from my target while I was finding/trying/reading.
Now I need some advices.
- which wireless? should I throw the card. or different linux is a
solution. ( maybe piece of cake with newest Debian release)
-is there any easy to use remote admin desktop solution which accept
me to reach from windows platform to Linux ?
- which desktop, which web, admin tools? Or should I forget desktop
desktop, visual admin and go for old style Telnet? I want minimal
configuration. so I need advice about package content.
briefly thats the story .Thanks for your patience.
