    are about a distro based on "Linux From Scratch" that was specificly created for public access terminal use in a library. It has been deployed and is loved by everyone, the public and library management included. I have not used it myself, I heard about it at a user's group meeting. You might want to contact the author and get a copy. ljsalazar(at)comcast.net The project website http://www.lumixtech.com/ seems to be down.

  2. USR 5610B from Wal*Mart on Modem Success Stories With Linux? · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is a hardware modem, requires no drivers, I am using it on 2.6.6 now. Downside is it costs $60

  3. Robert Bork on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 1

    The best political book I have ever read is "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" by Robert H. Bork (1996). It is nothing like any of the current crop of political books. If you have any interest in politics, it is a must read.

    Bork was nominated by President Reagan to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987, and was turned down because he is conservative. If you are not conservative, don't reject this book out of hand.

    Bork impressed me a lot, and I am not easy to impress. I am going to read his other books. Bork is a learned person and you will truly be informed by this book. Don't believe any negative reviews you may read about it. It is penetrating, informative, and pertinent. Bork changed my opinion. Two big thumbs up.
