connecting laptop to desktop: was: always some kind of glitch

[Cheryl Homiak]

Thanks, Janina and buddy and all.
question: in order to connect my laptop to my desktop to transfer files, etc.,
will I need to put a second ethernet card in my desktop? Of course, I realize
that once i have linux up and running on the laptop I can also use ssh and scp
if my laptop is itself somewhere connected to the internet separately from the
desktop. But I suppose there may be times when I want to connect the two
together.

Thanks.
