Hi all..
  
I am new to Linux. Just finished installing Redhat 5.2
Got it all working O.K. but need to know a few answers.

I have the Linux box connecting to the net. I access the net
from both Linux ( Netscape } and a Win 98 machine. Both Netscape
and I.E.5. gggrrr

All works fine , ftp, www, etc etc. But for ICQ to work I need a 
socks connection. I am running Squid and thought it was the same 
as socks. Now the question is. Is Squid and socks the same thing. 
( a proxy server } or do I have to run them both. 

Any help appreciated on clearing a newbie question.
With regards to Linux, I am impressed.  I have always had problems with
Win 98 dropping connections but running through Linux it isnt a pain at
all.
Rock solid connections everytime now. Linux machine isn`t hanging at
all. Been running for 5 days straight now.  Flat out getting 3 days on
Win98 without
the 3 finger selute. control/alt/delete..

Regards.
A linux convert.
