Re: RE: [Nolug] suggestions for workstation

P.S. The "other machine" I mentioned that gets FastAccess is running W2K.

I had dial-up before I upgraded to 8.0 and now I can't get it back even by going back to 7.1 or 7.3. I've examined all the files listed in AT&T's web document.
My other machine will still get FastAccess but no dial-up.

(except that I can no longer access the internet--something about
ppp-compress-2 not found)

I'm guessing you don't have dial up?

I have installed RH 8.0 running on an Athlon 1600+ and it work just fine
(except that I can no longer access the internet--something about
ppp-compress-2 not found), but the speed is good. Installation is easy. If
you want to borrow my discs and try it out, let me know. I'll probably be
gone Friday and Saturday, back Sunday morning.

Subject: [Nolug] suggestions for workstation

I received an older model Gateway computer as a donation for my non-profit
and would like to turn it into a workstation for volunteers. It needs to
have the ability to work with MS Office documents and since most of these
folks will be new to Linux, something that resembles a Windows GUI as much
as possible. What distribution is best these days for something like this?
I have installed Debian/FreeBSD and Red Hat in the past, but am curios as to
what has the easiest installs these days.

Thanks
