Home - Linux

This page contains a collection of things that may be of use to you, particular if you use RedHat Linux (7.3).

I have a dual boot Dell Inspiron 8000 running Windows 2000 and RedHat 7.3. I have a Swann USB V.90 modem (doesn't work in linux) and a D-Link DFM-560E. I want to get an Epson Stylus C80. I am in Australia.

I just started these pages, so about half of the information is incomplete.
