Hey guys.
IBM FINALLY gave me permission to change the crappy
little windows machine I use for graphics into a Linux
machine. My only two concerns are that my dept uses
a token ring for its ethernet; I've no experience with
using Linux on a token ring. I read the mini-HOWTO,
it basically said to simply compile support into the
kernel, which is easy enough, but does it act like a
eth0? what is it, tok0? Anyone with some experience here?
Also, since I will still need the ability to create
graphics I need the ability to use truetype fonts in
applications like the Gimp. I know there is a xttf
server out there, do i just need to install it, will
applications like the Gimp be able to use standard
ttf fonts off the net with xttf installed and running?
Now if they'll just let me run Linux instead of AIX on
my workstation...=)
