I unfortunately don't have the laptop model with me right now, nor the
model of the wireless card - two really good pieces of information that
I should have gotten before I posted. I apologize.
As for what I mean by old - the laptop is 7 or more years old, I'd
hazard a guess.
Ah, I see. So you may not be able to install 686 software. Not that big a deal.
How can I tell between RH and RHEL?
RedHat Enterprise is what they went to after RH9. It came out around '04. RH4..., uh, I started using RedHat at 5.2 in the mid/late nineties.
As for what I want to do with the laptop - two things. The number one
thing I want to do is to be able to take it to the library, connect to
their wi-fi, and use a web browser to browse web sites, read email, etc.
Basic stuff. Any version should do you.
The second thing I want to do is to be able to install a version of tcl
and supplimental libraries and write some code. I don't envision that
to be a big deal - the compiles will be a limited number, and the
interpreter runs normally with minimal impact on the system.
Right, I agree.
So, if I can get the wi-fi stuff to work, I should be pretty well set.
Good luck. I dunno what might be in it. If you actually have RH installed, you should be able to look, at least cat'ing /proc, etc.
