It took me just under 40mins to install and configure two network cards =
into two Windows 95 computers and have them sharing CDROMs, printers =
etc. (and that was with a busted hand).

Two full days - still can't do it with Linux. Guess that's why Bill is =
soon to be a trillionaire. Oh well, I'll keep wading through the =
techno-dribble, it won't beat me. I assume Redhat 5.0 can do it? Is =
there any documentation that uses terms like; Call this computer PC1, =
this PC2. Call the workgroup 'Thegang' instead of rambling about =
hostnames, nameservers etc and then changing the meanings of the terms =
halfway through the story....
