I am a Windows 95 user who has recently been introduced to the world of Linux (Debian (2.0, I think ??)). I have partitioned off about 1 GB of my hard drive to Linux, and the rest is DOS/W95.
I am trying to work out ... is it possible to share files between the two operating systems (i.e. Linux and W95) ? Here is a practical example of what I mean.....I am trying to sell the concept of Linux to a friend of mine who only uses W95 at the moment. Suppose I wanted to create a screenshot (.BMP) from a session that I was running in WMaker or Afterstep....how would I get it across to W95 so that I could EMail the picture to him ?? (Is a BMP in Linux the same format as a BMP file in W95 ?) ...and talking about EMails, can anyone give me any leads on the best way I can connect to the Net in Linux, surf the Net, send/receive EMails, participate in Chat programs etc. ? I'm experienced in W95, but I am only starting out in the world of Unix (...a whole new world), so if any responses could be in layman's terms I would be grateful :) Thanks in advance for your help !! regards, Andrew J Fortune
