Is one less stable? I heard somewhere that versions that ended in an odd number were not 'official' releases. Is that true? How do I get access to devices that weren't setup during installation? I have a home LAN, and I want to try and connect to the other computer. I also wand to connect to the Internet, but I can't figure out how to use my modem. I have created 2 users on my system. When I login as one of them, if I make a mistake at the command line and I press the backspace I get a ^H character. If I log in as root this doesn't happen. Why is that? What can I do to change that for my regular users? Bahamat
