<p><strong>From Chris Gushue on 29 Jul 1998 </strong></p>
<!-- begin body -->
<p><strong>About a week after asking for help about connecting Linux and
Windows 95 via null modem, I totally switched over to Linux (well,
with a small Windows partition for the occasional game). I got fed
up after numerous crashes while just installing it, plus my brand
new Gravis GamePad Pro didn't work in 98 at the time. I can make my
Linux system do pretty much anything I want, either in text mode or
in X. Plus, I don't have to reboot at least once a day. To
summarize, it's much better to run Linux than Windows (well,
everyone knows that, of course!). Instead I think I'll work on
setting up a LAN with my Linux system (on a cable modem) with two
Windows 95 systems (my roommates-to-be systems). Shouldn't be too
hard - except for maybe the Windows configuration (I expect no less
than 3 reboots)
