Ok guys, FC1 is live and running in our classroom, we
did it on my computer first for testing, it
autodetected everything, and managed to discover how
to get my DHCP, DNS, Proxy and well, everything I
needed for my college LAN, I have to say I love the
security on Linux.

Now we have a new bump, we need to conect to our
server which is running Windows 2003 Server wich has a
MSCHAP V.2 encryption, couldn't find any option in
Linux (so far) that allows me to connect to a Windows
server using this encryption mode.

I found out in the internet that Linux needs a patch
to allow this, but I'm wondering, since FC1 is a
Project and it's newer, does FC1 has this option
somewhere or do I have to do it on text mode?
