I got in on a free Novell/Suse resource kit, 3 DVD's of Linux stuff. I came last week and since I was at a point were I wanted to get back on Linux I decided to install it over my Mandrake 9.2 install. The thing that was holding me back was that , I thought that LInux didnt support my WinModem. I had done alot of research and nver could get it to work. I eventually bought a cheap external modem that worked with Linux but droped alot while in windows. The last time I rebuit the machine I was using WinXP alot and decided to just go with the WinModem. So last night I hooked the external modem back up with plans to run the telephone line through the external and into the internal. I was happily surprised that the Suse 9.1 install saw the WinModem and worked with it. i got the whole thing running and while I started typeing up my English paper in Open Office I downloaded Firefox and got that running. I am going to check out another desktop, right now I have KDE 3.2 running.
