[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux/Hardware Compatiblity Was: Netscape Bookmarks [solved!!]

[Joe]

Thanks for the confirm on the AMD K6.
One thing I've learned for sure about Linux install, it is the one item you
don't cover in pre-install that can snag the whole party (bg), like the old
Slackware video refresh rates, nothing like trying to navigate in the blind
or with the standard font looking back at you at 42 point<g>.Makes you know
what the screen must look like to a nat.
TNKS, Joe

modem. If you can find the words "WinModem" on it, you may need to replace
it. If it says it works in DOS, it should be fine. Only way is to try it
sometime.
