Answer "yes" and it connects to www.sun.com using it's own browser. However this is unbelievably slooooow, the data rates shown at the bottom of the window are *always* single digit bytes/sec. On the one occasion I allowed it to finish (~10 mins) it took me to the registration page. I select the OS (Linux :( ) and language then clicked the "register" button. After many more minutes of slow data transfer it just returned to the same page, no mention of having successfully registering. So, questions. Is the info you enter during the install supposed to be for automatic registration? Why are the data transfer rates so slow? (I'm not using Netscape or anything else at the same time). Does the fact that "Register SO" is still on the task list mean that I have not successfully registered it? TIA. -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
