style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am very new to Linux and am
planning to install Fedora Core next week. The last time I tried to install
Fedora Core 3 was on my x86 machine but I was frustrated not being able to
connect to the internet. I have a PPPOE connection and have been supplied a
service name, username and password. I couldn’t figure out how to supply the
service name to Linux. I used RASPPPOE and Windows PPPOE driver in windows. The
problem is I have a 64 bit machine now and 32 bit drivers or PPPOE don’t work so
please help me out by giving detailed instructions on how to set up a PPPOE
connection with service name in Fedora. Also one more question: Should I try FC3
or FC4 test 1 and how can I upgrade or update later on? I tried getting Mandrake
Linux 10.1 but it was quite buggy and also had a known problem with hardware
clock detection so I uninstalled it. FC doesn’t have this problem I guess. Any
reply would be appreciated. Thanks.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
