Hmmm... looks like I should find and read a Linux FAQ, although I
administered a multi-user CAD system that ran HP-UX, Hewlett
Packard's version of UN*X... I have an old Zenith 486 that I mainly
want to use to save/restore sound sample data with, so a quick and
efficient OS is good, even if somewhat "cryptic" (in the case of Linux,
cryptic and detailed really means flexible and efficient, right?) :-)
Maybe there's a FAQ, installation guide, etc. available from Red Hat?
(I know there are several good books available but any one of those
costs more than either of my survivors...actually, more than both
cost combined!)
TIA - Pete
