I just tried the Centos 5 Live CD on my Thinkpad T41.
It works pretty good but did not recognize my Laptop's
modem or WiFi (I guess no surprise there).
I do have a CardBus modem that is not a Win-modem
that I could try when I get home.
I did not see anyway to configure a PPP dialup call.
Is there a way to run kppp or Gnome's equivalent?
