Well, I actually baught my UNIX OS disk ike ayear ago (i forget which one but its command line only, no GUI yet...dont have the money!). The 486 is the computer itself. used to run MS-DOS, but DOS is CRAP soi made it unix.

By the way, the thing works like a charm. Im posting this reply from within Knoppix! And the thing found my settings without any of the retries. Took about 5 secs once i knew what to do!

I also found an online book about samba, which i am reading on how to get it started. What i am hoping is that i will be able to do all my schoolwork in linux(so far its much better suited) and just use windows for games(windows is much better suited for that).

But my dad's computer is WINDOWS only. He doesent want to have linux on it, and the only time he uses knoppix is when i have data stored in some program that isnt for windows (like KGEO for instance, i use it in my advanced geometry class all the time, but it isnt in windows) Luckily my dad connects directly to the access point, so there is no fretting with the wireless driver. He just needs to get samba running!
