I will need GUI because I will need to instruct my mother over phone to operate my computer. She gets overwhelmed by anything to do with computers ... so GUI is necessary.
Can you suggest a LAN card ( preferably 1000/100 or 1000/100/10 ethernet) easily available in India which is fully supported by most linux OSes and windows? Please tell me the price if you know.
I also want to know if its possible to setup direct PC to PC connection with a Vista Home Premium Laptop using a crossover ethernet cable and transfer files.
