The fight to give up MS

[devin rankin]

The fight to give up MS has been a 4 year battle with me.  But today,
another minor victory.

Last year I moved to almost all Internet stuff on the Linux computer. 
Just about all web browsing and all e-mail was on the Fedora Core 1
computer.  But I had to use the MS box for printing and game playing. 
My printer, a Samsung ML1450, is plugged into a Hawking PN7127P mini
print server.  All my windows computers can print to it, but I have
never been able to get my Linux computer to print to it.  All the walk
troughs I found failed.  And I could never get the Java plug-in to work
right in Mozilla.

Over the weekend I did a fresh install with Fedora Core 2.  For the
first time, the Java install and Mozilla Java plug-in worked like it
should and I can see Java content.

And today, for the first time, I was able to print to my printer.  Which
makes Linux much more useful and brings me one step closer to being able
to leave Windows behind.

Now I have to tackle Wine so I can play Heroes of Might and Magic IV om
my Linux computer.
