Re: making linux look bad

The RedHat 5.2 CD is $1.89 at LinuxMall. Select "all" and let it rip. It works fine and lets you have a learners system to start from. Once you learn Linux, you'll probably want to come back to debian :-) -John - Original Message - From: Clyde Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: tf <[EMAIL

Printing w/Epson SC800

I feel like a total mental case. I have potato up and running fine, but even though I've read a pile of f'ing manuals I can't get my epson sc800 printer to listen when debian talks! I have installed apsfilter, lprng, and aladdin-ghostscript as recommended in the PRINTING-HOWTO, but for some unknow
