Thanks Ray, I have used RH5.1, 6.1 and I am using now RH 6.2 and never had a problem configuring X. I am also playing with Slackware 7.1 and had no problem either. (I fact I am now in Slackware since my ISP changed some systems beginning July 1st after which I could not log-on anymore in RH6.2.)

Hi, jdr: Here is my experience with Earthlink: I recently got a DSL kit and account from Earthlink/Mindspring. I received an install CD that requires Windows 95 or better. It worked fine. I can still receive mail from my other accounts, but outbound mail must be sent from my Mindspring SMTP.
