	As for your question - nothing special needed. Except one thing
(see below).

[snip butt-ugly sig lacking normal delimiter and exceeding McQ 2 times]
[snip HTML copy of the above tossed in for no good reason]

BTW, you've chosen an excellent set of groups to ask your question:
comp.os.linux.help
comp.os.linux.setup
comp.os.linux.hardware
comp.os.linux.development.apps
comp.os.linux.development.system
redhat.hardware.arch.intel
alt.os.linux
alt.uu.comp.os.linux.questions
linux.redhat
comp.os.linux.questions
comp.os.linux.networking
alt.linux
aus.computers.linux
comp.os.linux.advocacy
linux.redhat.install
comp.os.linux.x
comp.os.linux.prog
comp.os.linux.m68k

Impressive. Really. comp.os.linux.development.system is, no doubt, the
best possible place for such question. Well, second to best -
comp.os.linux.m68k is THE place for question about non-m68k hardware.
There are several additional hits (.advocacy, several non-existant groups,
.development.apps, .networking, yodda, yodda), but they are somewhat
less original.

And now for the problem with your setup. Actually I was slightly wrong -
it requires *two* things. One of them being an ability to learn how to
use something (Linux, USENET, whatever) and another... a brain.
