Next meeting and Install fest (former Re: [LUGSB] Remote desktop from SINC site?)

[nyang]

Hi all,

I also need someone's help with installing linux on my Thinkpad T60.
I tried fedora 7 and SUSE 10, neither of which could work with  Intel(R)
PRO/wireless
3945ABG in my T60. I know I have to install the driver for it. But it's
tough for
a newbie like me. So help please!! BTW, I don't actually care which
distribution to
choose. I just want to get started to use linux in daily study.

Thank you all,
Nan
