Im in a REALY good mood now; I upgraded to dapper, and my x-server stopped working! BUT I managed to fix it without even looking it up on the net I stopped gnome, then copied my backed up xorg.conf file over my current xorg.conf file and restarted x and it worked first time I feel like a REAL geek now haha

first, which flavour of Linux are you using? Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora?
I have no experience with AOL, not being an american I don't know if they do things their own way, differently from everybody else (hopefully not). It also looks like the tutorial you found uses an external DSL, do you have that too?
Peng, as far as i can see, is a ppp/cable dialer, which should be included in most modern distributions already, see for instance: this.
This means that you shouldn't have to install it, but rather find the installed one.

hope that helps a bit.

did some digging for you:
first:
this
which doesn't make linux and AOL sound like a brilliant solution.
second:
this
which can give you something.

i gotta run get some coffee.
hope those links get you somewhere.
oh, also. i googled for "ubuntu BT voyager 100 aol" and got lots of hits, some are hard to get and require quite a bit of knowledge others are more to the point. Hope you get your eth0 up and running.
Second also, I have not used Ubuntu so I'm thinking someone else might know more about included apps / which packages to apt-get to get pppd to work, epecially which flavour of pppd to get.

Ubuntu is cool and easy to use, install, download programs almost one command allowd you to do that ;=)

i hope youve realized this by the time ive posted this, just let me know....

there are, lets pick a plausible number, say 240 other distros out there that do the EXACT SAME THING :p

its just aptitude (full name for the apt shortened word)

Hi!
What version of linux would be best for the dual-p3 system (abit vp6) i found in the garbage?

^shown there^

basically i want to run this machine on my lan (the hub of which will be mounted in this case as well) as a dedicated server for games like quake 3 and jedi academy. will these games run on linux? i know absolutely nothing about linux, but do NOT want to pay to put windows on a machine i found in the garbage =D!

gentoo is always the best, if you're willing to spend six days installing.
