Hi All,
I have a wireless network established at home using
the latest version of a certain very widely used
operating system whose name I dare not speak. I've
been trying for years to "convert" to Linux, mostly
for ideological reasons, but without much luck.
I've succesfully installed a few distributions of
Linux
onto various PC's (mostly older), and I can play
CD's and use office software with no problem.
The real deal-breaker (the reason I haven't started
using linux except as a novelty) is that I've never
gotten the internet to work with Linux. With that
other OS, installation of a wireless adapter is easy,
and the OS generally recognizes it instantly. Are
there any linux distros that will do the same thing
(perhaps in conjunction with certain wireless
adapters) ?
Right now I have SUSE 9.1 (Home) running, and
when I plug in a USB wireless adapter, nothing
happens, and I can't figure out what to do.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
