HI, I would first like to thank you to all the people who make this linux thing possible and to the people who help out and take the time to help newbies such as myself. Secondly I would like to say fuck microsoft! That being said here the low down, I have the Knoppix live Cd and it boots fine the KDE browser ( Im acually usesing a theme from KDE on firefox browser right now )and everything else looks very friendly, I can't wait to use it, the problems is I am unable to configure the proxy so I cant use the net. Here is a description of what Im working with ( I am sure you dont need all this info but better too much than too little)
micosoft windows xp service pack 2
dell dementions 2400
celeron R 2.40GHz
512 MB RAM
intel R 537EP V9x PCI Modem
my service is through netzero I have heard that netzero does not support linux but I coundnt get it to work with earthlink when I had it ether. Do I just need to quit being a cheap ass and get broadband? I also have a live CD of ubuntu linux, but I like the look of Knoppix better but would be more than happy to use it if it would better suit my needs. Thank you very much for you time and expertise.
