90% of Linux docs are for slackware, my rh5 cd had mainly slackware
specific docs. So check the Linux Documentation Project, I have it
linked to from

GLint is a RH beast, Slackware has pkgtool which is quite painful. You
can use rpms with slackware - there is a howto about this. Also GLint
should be able to run on any Linux distrib. But my advice is to learn
how to handle tar.gz and the command line.

First step is to configure your modem, then minicom. When you can dial
out check my page i have a link to the best Linux Internet Primer (took
me months to get on the net so i feel your pain). The primer and the PPP
howto and man pages should carry through. The hardest part is being able
to dial out from linux.
