   Perhaps, but I have a party line with me and two other subscribers
who don't appreciate listening to a modem. Line quality is so bad
that the modem can't cope for more than minutes at a time.

   Doesn't the second decimal (for example the x in 7.x) mean it
is an experimental OS, which may have no relation to where Linux
is going?

   I am having problems partitioning so I could experiment with
GNU, Berkely, and other OSs (I am a retired Computer Science MS)
all on CDROMs and not yet installed. I do a lot of experimenting
and programming. I have lost some RH 6.2 modules completely. I have
a Dell workstation from August 2001, with two 9Gb and two 60Gb
disks: it seems everything I have done is on one 9Gb disk!
   Does Partion Magic work well? I have version 2 in the box
since 1992, but it will not install, and the original source
address is dead. I have tried, but no help anywhere there.
