The install was easy enough, but I cannot connect to the net from it (it wont run the disc that came with my net connection) but hopefully I can figure it out or find an answer.
It all looks pretty good anyway, so hopefully I will pick up enough to get by with it. How hard can it be?

Not sure what the disc is that came with your net connection, but it's likely a Windows or Mac-only script that sets up your Dial Up Networking (or DSL or Cable or whatever). You can set up Dial-Up, DSL, and Cable on Linux, but it takes a bit more know-how of process than running the CD hehe. You'll need to know the username/password/number you connect to (if dialup)/etc. Google around... there are HOWTOs out there.
