Re: Distro Recommendation

["Aaron Call" <acall@siu.edu>]

So far all is going well. Thank you all for your input. Now, I guess I'm
going to break-down and buy a PCMCIA wireless card. Recommendations on one
with native Linux support? I am also preparing for the CCNA and have a flash
based prep program that I'd like to run on this system. Three questions
here: do I have to use Macromedia's Linux player, does the Linux installer
require network access, and what browser other than the pre-installed
Firefox should I use that is compatible with a flash player that requires
fewer resources?
Again, thanks all, I really appreciate having a resource such as SILUG!
Aaron

Yup.  At ByteWorks we get those errors when cloning, too.  Just boot into
Recovery Mode, type 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', answer the questions
(defaults has so far always worked for us), and then type '/ etc/init.d/gdm
restart'.  You should see the spinning xfce mouse.

Be sure to let us know how things go.
