1st steps with PCLinuxOS 2007

I had so much trouble trying to reinstall Windows XP on my IBMX23 that I thought I’d see how I get on with PCLinux.

Install was fast and easy. My network connections worked out of the box. My Wireless was easy to setup. Great.

Hostnames: Could I figure out how to properly connect to my windows network using hostnames instead of ipaddresses? - no, what a pain. Until I eventually found a forum message saying I had to install nss_wins.

VNC: Once this was installed I could use vnc ‘properly’ by typing in my windows machines instead of my ip addresses. And connecting to my upstairs pc via VNC seems much faster via PCLinux than through XP.

Subversion:
