I'm thinking of what linux has a 2.6 kernel and reasonably current patches so I can patch the winmodem into the kernel -- rhel/centos is a better shot than Ubuntu11 oe 12. RHEL 6.8 came out last month or maybe in May... I've used RHEL, CentOS, Suse, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Mandriva, back to SLS103 and kernel 0.99... I've been doing Unix stuff since '87 or so. I just want to send out something pretty solid and secure that will just keep running a couple of years. I've got the AOL and Windows stuff on the box but I wanted to see if the PengAOL dialer would work to get her to her account and that would let her dump her old Mac. The real fun is finding out if this AOL dialer for Linux will still interoperate. The one thing about the dual boot is she can download software and install it from the Windows partition. > >I'm thinking of 'various' strategies to best match the recipient with >the dialup capabilities. > >If the recipient isn't already a conventional linux person, a Puppy >Linux might be an easier match for dialup. > > >-- >Mike Easter Bill
