-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I will be presenting using my laptop, after that it can be used for your demo, I have working WiFi, ethernet, PCMCIA and I use it every day. With Kubuntu I have access to most of the apps mentioned.
Also, I will be on campus early, and I have 2 different USB ethernet NICs that work under stock (aka kernel.org... aka upstream, that place that Gentoo users seem to hate :P ) Linux kernels. I also will be bringing a PCMCI NIC (wired and wireless) that work with stock kernels. So, you will be online :) Mark Carlson wrote: > On 5/5/06, Carl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Mark, I hope that computer works for you.
