Hey guys,

I am using Windows 95 at home and would like to try Linux (probably
Red Hat 4.1 or Slackware 3.0) . I have an internet connection (PPP)
and a handheld scanner. Got some dummy questions to ask?

1. Can I use my modem and enjoy surfing the internet under Linux
environment? (fax/Modem Netcomm Roadster 28.8)

2. I have a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000. Anyone having a problem with that
card and  X Windows installed? (worry it would damage the card)

3. Can I still use my handheld scanner (Logitech)

4. Does Red Hat and Slackware CDs include some extra apps such as word
processing?

5. I don't like to use Pine as my email programs. Any good programs
out there (with fantastic GDI)? such as Eudora or Netscape Mail

6. Which one has the easiest installation? Redhat. Slackware...


Thank You
