(not sure how accurate that is, tho.) I do think its odd that AOL wont let linux in, especially since there was that big hoopla sometime back where they supposedly dumped IE for Netscape or something else. > > Let me ask you this, > If I set up a network, with my windows box as the primary connection to compuserve, can I use my linux box to apt-get software? > > Thanks in advance for your reply. > mw. AOL did buy CompuServe, years ago, before the dot-com bubble started inflating much. Iirc, AOL for Windows is still IE-based (for now) but I'd thought I'd heard that on the Mac, it is now Netscape/Mozilla based. As to apt-getting through a Windows box as a gateway, so long as your NAT is working okay, it *should* work. -- Mark L.
