I finally got a Linux distro installed on my newly built system. I played with a bit and was very impressed more so that it finally installed and loaded the desktop like advertised. My problem is that I want to connect to the Internet and update 7.2 if needed. I put the CD in the tray and tried figuring out how to find ppp daemon which Linux tells me is missing and needed to configure my Internet connection. I also need help with setting up my modem. I have a Creative Labs Blaster modem and it is not listed within Linux. There is a name there but nothing I recognize. Remember I am a complete newbie I have no clue about command line within Linux or familiar with the tech talk most of you use when dealing with configuring Linux. Also on the plus side I was very very impressed on how Linux recognized and installed my HP 682C printer faster than Windows and Macintosh; this is through a parallel port connection which is why I was so impressed. The test page was very clean and although I was a bit skeptical with the problems with CUPS so many users have had. Thanks in advance.
