Corel linux hardware, etc 1

[coreluser]

I am planning to install Corel Linux on my p4 1.6GHz machine. That is if it can be installed on this new of a machine. If it can't I'd appreciate being informed.

If it can, then I have several questions.

1. I tried finding a hardware list for CL but had no luck. Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of hardware that CL will support? Specifically a CD/RW.

2. I am on a LAN and will need to connect. I am now using Netscape 6 build 2600 and Outlook Express. Can I use them?

3. I will need to know how to setup for keeping unwanted hackers, etc out of my system. Where do I get docs/books on how to do this?

If I can get CL to work on my machine and can get hardware, LAN, printers, modem, etc to work I plan to dump Windows totally.

Any help or replies will be greatly appreciated. I'm a UNIX user but now am on a PC. I need some help. Thanks in advance.

I don't think there will have the problem with that machine and for the hardware stuff you can search by

http://www.google.com

...I am sure that you can find it there...and for the security you can start to read this book..."Hacking Exposed"
It is a good book which will tell you vunerability of the server...you can go and read some by "

http://www.hackingexposed.com".

They have "Hacking Linux Exposed" as well but I think you should read the fist book that I have told you.

Hope this help
