Re: Newbie Question(s)

[-Taylor -]

-I'm looking at "crossing over" from Mandrake to RedHat; but I have a
-few questions:
-
-1. I've already installed Mandrake, and would like to install RedHat
-over it. Can this be done?
-
-2. Is OpenOffice compatable with MS Office? Star Office?
-
-3. I read somewhere (a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago) that Linux requires an
-external modem, for setup.
-Is this still true?
-
-4. Are there drivers for all the different (major) brands of printers?
-If I have a printer for
-which there are no internal drivers where could I get the drivers?
-
-Ok, I think that's all Ihave for now. Any help you could give would be
-greatly appreciated.

1) I doubt it. And honestly, would ya want to? I like to do a fresh install anytime I install any OS. Linux or otherwise.

2) Yep. You can set is to save in .doc, .xls...etc. I think it kicks the heck out of office.

3) Un, no. If you have an internet connection you can boot to a floppy and install from an FTP site though. This is great for installing to machines w/out CD ROM drives.

4) Printer drivers. Just search the net. Odds are someone, somewhere had made drivers for just about everything out there.
