As you all know I am now trapped in the world of windows. I sat down
with a couple of old bootable distros of the Linux ilk and started the
laptop. The first one (Security Tools Distribution) started fine but
after a few minutes the mouse stops working. Then I started Mepis.
That one would not start at all. Last of all was Professional Hackers
Linux Assault Kit. That one starts and the mouse stopped working once
but upon restart all was good. Then I was thinking about hooking up to
the internet but that was a no-go. It seems that it didn't want to
auto-detect the network which windows has no problem detecting. How do
I get Linux to auto-detect it?
Then I was thinking of traveling with Linux on the laptop and thinking
that the broadband card I bought in Phoenix would not work on the
Linux box (I know that where I bought it has no relevance here) but
was greatly relieved when I did a little research:
