Hello All,
I like some of the configuration files that are in Caldera Linux.
I also like some of the configuration files that Red Hat uses in there
package. What I would like to do is miss & mach. I like the config
files that Caldara used to config printers and modems can I copy them
into Red Hat and expect it to work?

Thanks in Advance
Kevin

Don't see why not. /etc/printcap and /etc/ppp/options are the same the
world over. Distributions differ in their tools to manipulate them, that is
all.

What is the most efficient for a Linux beginner without any computing
