Re: legitimate linux question

["Zachary Florian" <icthusianz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

does Xconfigurator or XF86Setup only run in CLI? or is it an Xprogram and is
it case sensitive (i.e. xconfigurator with the small "x" won't work) because
i tried to run xconfigurator, xf86setup, xf86config and a few others that i
found on the Linux.org website How-To

also i'm impressed with the ease i found in RH6.1's PPP configuration...
very easy to do...

also any idea why Linux is running very slowly on my computer? slower than
even Win98... i know, thousands upon thousands of possibilities, where
should i start looking and what am i looking for?
