<OT> My new Linux User

[Rick Sivernell]

   Well, we have a new linux user subscribed to the user list here, I did it for
him, and booked marked the steps and gave a short tour. Was going to remove the
extra 7 virtual screens, but I think he finally got it and told me to leave them
alone, <g>. Got him up and running very smoothly. Wine is installed and updated
to the latest stable. Notepad runs like a linux app, and acad lite 98 runs very
nice from command line, but created a desktop icon shortcut, it will try to
start, but quits. While there are only a couple of winders apps to run, acad lite
and some games, wine seems ok, but acad does gp faults very easily. I have set it
up with winesetuptk and put the req directories in his $HOME dir. Just might need
some tweaking here, as this is my 1st time to do wine. Outlook did come up, but
did not like its own *.pst files.

   Removed his 96 m memory & put in 256 m, he could not believe how much nicer
his system performed. He seems to be pleased, of course, he will be more so when
it never goes down, <g>.

  Does any one have a recommendation for a good cad program that will read in/out
acad files. Since he paid over $400 for the lite version, he opposed to paying
again.

  Oh, excuse my manners, my new user's name is Joe Tom Hutchison. He may sen a
post sooner or later.

cheers
