I've just recently heard of this great product.. and would really like
to know more about it.. I have a 486/25sx, 270 meg hd, Diamond
Stealth.. and 8 megs of RAM. I would like to know what it could do
for me as an individual user. I heard it has Xwindows or something as well.
Does it support my video card? Is it worthwhile to install if I don't have
a SLIP or PPP, etc, connection? (What do most people who use it use it
for?) Does it allow dialups from other users if I have a modem? (hee hee)
Does it support the HP Deskjet? How will I be able to obtain programs for
it? Are there an abundance of programs available? (i.e. word processing,
etc.) Basically, I'm very interested in it, but don't know what it can
do.. nor how it could help me..

Any information would be greatly appreciated!! =)

Email is preferred.. but post is okay with me too.

Thanks again!!!

Lyle
