I have recently installed Ubuntu and it was just as easy as all the people
gave me advice told me it was e.g. automatically partitioning my HDD and
setting itself dual boot. Apart from having to re-install it because I
hadn't noticed the screen asking for username and password, all is well.
I would like to know the best packet prog available and where it can be
downloaded from. The version is Ubuntu 9.04 BTW.
I have tried WINE to try to run Winpack and I wasn't surprised to find it
didn't want to know.
The aforesaidn packet prog must have a Telnet option as I am not allowed
AEs as I have said before.
My conclusions are that it is still quite fast, though not as fast as the
early distros were but there is not the headache caused by, say, setting
up your monitor with frame rate, bit depth etc. only to find that it
didn't work because you have missed something.
I have dug out a book for Slackware 3, the first version I ever tried.
Somewhere I have a big book for SuSe 5; both have a lot of commands which
are still in use.
I have only loaded it as an excercise to keep senile dementia from the
door as it is very good brain excercise, as were TNOS, JNOS etc but, if
all goes well I will keep it as my main O.S. only descending to Winpack XP
when forced.
Any advice, especially on a packet prog: will be welcome. Ideally
something like TPK under DOSEMU (if it still exists) would be nice but,
sadly TPK doesn't have Telnet and it never ran well under DOSEMU any way.
Thanks in advance. Ian.
