“Welcome back, everyone, to the “Corner”. Before I jump right in
to today’s topic, let me begin with a friendly warning. While this
is part 3 of the current series, it is kind of a part 2 to last
week, so be warned that this is not a standalone article. You need
to have read the previous one. Friendly warning ends.”
“Now, I hope you had some fun with DragonLinux last week.
This time around, we’ll get down and dirty and do some
low-level configurations with this monster. After last week’s
article came out, I received an interesting comment from a reader.
After installing it on his own notebook, he proceeded to install it
on a handful of PCs around the office (and at home). Still not
satisfied, he then did all the things I’m going to talk about
today, configuring his network, downloading and installing
different packages, and subscribing to the DragonLinux mailing
list. For those of you who are finding the wide desktop video just
a bit weird, we’ll cover that, too. Stay tuned. As always, your
feedback is appreciated. Thanks to everyone.”
“One more thing before I go on. I did receive two e-mails from
people who had trouble with the download site I suggested, due to
weirdness on the main page (many others apparently did not). Here’s
an alternative. If you visit the download and add-on page at the
following address, you can get both extra packages and the
dragon80.zip file. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
