cable and probably a DB25 to DS9 adaptor, but once you get your hands on
the cable this is a straightforward solution.

Hi all,
By the way, thanks for all the suggestions on the linux versions. I
went against my better judgement and just stuck with Fedora, mainly
because I'm familiar with it. I have to admit, I kind of like it. I was
able to get it up and running, run nfs to mount local drives, and
install a
