I've inherited a really old Dell laptop, on which is installed a really old version of Redhat - I believe it is redhat 4. The slowness of the machine, the limited amount of disk space, etc. probably has me locked into staying at this version. The laptop does have a wireless card. I've never used a linux laptop before, nor ever used wi-fi, so I'm uncertain what, if anything, I need to do to go from booting the system to being able to actually make use of the local library's free wi-fi network to access the internet. Does anyone have any pointers to useful guides, HOWTOs, books, or whatever that would help someone as new to all of this as I? I understand that you don't know anything about the library system. If I have pointers to howtos, etc., then perhaps I can decypher the questions to ask to move forward.
