<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first thing I want to do is be sure the address
I have put in my address book is right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The second is to ask a series of
questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Compaq presario computer and wonder if I
can have a reasonable expectation that Linux in any flavor will work on
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If it does not, are there any particular vendors or
machines that are known to work well?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, what are P. C. M. C. I A. boards? I
derive from context that they may be NIC cards or have something to do with
laptop computers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks much and enjoy!</FONT></DIV>
