Rodney <rodney at eis.net.au> moved upon the face of the 'Net and spake thusly:

> Can anyone tell me why I can get on the internet only with RedHat or Debian.
> All the others , Mandrake,FreeBSD, Slackware,Icepack,Xandros,United
> etc that I have tried wont get on.

>From the detailed description you provided of both the problem and
your hardware, I can assure you that it couldn't possibly be your fault.

Nobody else has EVER managed to get ANY of those six operating systems
you listed to connect to the internet before either.  Goddess knows
what the authors were thinking, releasing them in such an unfinished
state.
