Hello, everyone --
Well, I finally did it. I have Debian Linux
running on my home system. I have never used Linux before, though I have
been a UNIX fan for all my career. This is the first non-commercial
version of UNIX I have ever used. I think that the attention and use
that Linux is getting is quite exciting, and I want to see more.
I am trying to accomplish a couple of things, now
that I have things running....
Does anyone have any quick pointers on how to get
started with X Windows? The X11R6 configuration files are missing in the
choices I have made. Are there Debian packages that contain some new
ones? I have a Pentium II, with an OptiQuest Q71 19" monitor, and super
VGA.
Also, I would like to get DHCP running. I
downloaded the standard DHCP package, but the configuration fails. Has
anyone done this? What is the procedure for this?
Thank you!
- Jim
