Well, isn't this special. This went a lot easier than I thought. I am posting from my SuSE Linux laptop. Piece of cake!!!
Pretty much went through without any problems. At one point I was notified that a few things failed to load. I should have written the actual message, but the items that failed were lsof, lukemftp, lirc,libxslt, lilo, linc and mailx. They don't seem to be causing any problems, so let's see how she does.
I was pleased to see that Linux, or should I say YaST, even picked up the Dell TrueMobile Wireless Internal NIC. Heck, Win2K wouldn't even do that!
Thom, I'm glad you joined this thread. I may have some questions for you later on down the road, if you don't mind. I'm looking to start learning some Perl, which is the reason for the interest in Linux. Would you mind if I sent some questions your way?
I know very little when it comes to Perl and Unix and the like. I can vi and grep. I know how to tail logs and stuff, but I'd really like to see about getting further into it.
