Linux Magazine: The Road to Kick-Ass Gaming (Oct 21, 2000, 21:07)

scenario. If they don't handhold customers through the process of

Duke of URL: The Struggle For Wireless LAN on Linux (Oct 21, 2000, 13:34)
"The problem now is the choice of protocols. And most of them
aren't compatible with each other. We will take a quick look at the
more popular protocols and the cards that use them, at their
advantages and disadvantages, and at how cross platform they are,
i.e. will the work in other non-Redmond OSes."
