mii-tool
Check and see if the LAN card is set on 100 Mb full-duplex
# mii-tool
Got a strange output (probably working on 100 Mb half-duplex):
# mii-tool
eth0: autonegotiation failed, link ok
eth1: no link
Force LAN card to work on 100 Mb
# mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD

I'm trying to follow the tutorial, but I'm getting stuck because of errors. However, I'll make a brief description here of problems I encountered and how I resolved them.
# yum install rdesktop
# yum install vmware-server
>> didn't work, perhaps I don't have yum repositories - I just leave it alone and downloaded RPM fom VMware *:
#
To do:
- flash player
- install necessary software
- remove duplicated programs (i.e. several PDF viewers)
- samba config (local share + auth on domain)
Observations:
- Evolution (email client) seems pretty cool: nice filtering junk mail system.
