Re: Linux on my laptop

[Rob Davis <rjdmail@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had Caldera 1.2 running on a Dell Latitude CP w/ the NeoMagic video
chip set and I never did get the video working right in the dock.
I did have a chance to check out Caldera's NetWare client and it
worked well connecting to both 3.x bindery and 4.x NDS servers.
