Hello
Wasn't sure if it was best to ask here or under networking but...
I have a PC doing nothing. I think it probably has XP on it but it's not been used for a couple of years now I have a dual core (which itself is not that new).
Anyway, I'm thinking of installing Linux on it. Not sure which distro yet (I'll take any advice/suggestions on that).
I'll probably use it mainly for surfing the web, and perhaps some word doc's depending if I can get drivers for the Canon printer.
I will BitTorrent too hopefully (nothing pirated I want to add).
But I can't do much without a wireless network set up. I have fios and can get decent speeds on my other computer. Ideally a cheap adapter with native drivers but something that will wrap (I think it's called ndis wrapper?) would do.
So if anyone can help with suggestions I would be obliged.
Cheers.
