What Is Linux?

In short, Linux is a free, powerful, and stable operating system like Windows98, except Linux is free, powerful and stable.

• Spinn.Net customers using our Megabit service with Linux should check out this Cisco 675 page. It has various instructions on setting up the Cisco, including all the commands you'll need. To set your Cisco to connect automagically whenever the box is on, just go to the 'Setting up PPP Mode' section and follow the instructions. One thing he doesn't mention is that the program you'll use to access the Cisco from Linux is minicom. Look for some more specific instructions on using Linux with Megabit here soon.

• The NM Linux Users Group is having an Install party for our next meeting on Wednesday April 12th from 6pm until as late as 10pm at Southwest Cyberport. Just bring your computer, some time, and the desire to learn something. There will be people on hand to help install Linux or one of the BSD systems. Check out http://www.nmlug.org/events.php3 for a map to SWCP and more info. See you there.

• Corel has just announced that Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux is now shipping. I've been using WordPerfect for Linux for awhile and I like it alot. Check out a review of the new suite here.

• As of today, spinnone, our Redhat Linux based email server here at Spinn.Net, has been running continuously running for 8 months without a reboot. One more reason I love Linux. :) Here's the uptime result:
  

     [mattg@spinnone mattg]$uptime
     12:35pm  up 240 days,  6:51, 1 user,  load average: 0.53, 0.54, 0.52
  

  The only reason it had to be turned off 8 months ago was we moved the machine into a new room. If not for that I think the uptime would have been closer to a year.
