Message-ID: <8200@lee.SEAS.UCLA.EDU> Date: 29 Sep 92 02:34:49 GMT Sender: news@SEAS.UCLA.EDU Organization: PGP VER2 Key Available Upon Request Lines: 32 This post will serve two purposes, 1.It will hopefully generate a response that will tell me what I want to know. 2.It will help other newbies figure out what the hell is going on here. (OH and if theres a faq, can someone tell me where?) My questions are as follows: I'm a dos/os/2 user (translation:My drive is very full), I love unix (i'm a hacker, can you tell? =) and would love to have it on my 486 (who cares if I have to buy another hard drive (my 210 is really really full), can anyone spare $300?) (I say 486 because I hope that will take care of any questions about 'is my computer able to run it')). So I would like to know: 1.How much disk space does it take? 2.How easy/difficult is it to install? 3.How much 'other' resources does it need? 4.Now that i have it? wWHAT THE HELL DO I DO W/IT?!? (NOTE:The response "anything you damn well please" is not to be considered a legit one =) These seem to be fairly reasonable questions, I look forward to the responses.
