Q. I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop's net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I'm already using my network for file sharing. Please don't offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.
Incidentally, I'm also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn't work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?

A. First of all ICS or a proxy service are the way to go.
XP is a bit limited with other choices. If you already
had ICS set up for the XP partition the same settings
will work for the fedora one.
For the other part. No. Linux has nothing to do with it.
The ICS configuration ist just settings within the XP
partition. Linux can't change that. You have recently
installed a firewall or made some firewall rule changes
on either of the crates?

Are there any programs like Windows Media Center for the Mac?
Q. Mac comes with Front Row, but that is not a good program like Windows Media Center. I would preferably would like to watch TV on my Mac. If there are any alternatives to Windows Media Center only available for the PC then tell me. I can run VMWare fusion and run windows on my mac too however I don't think I have enough memory space or processor cards installed for me to be able to do that. I got Windows Vista Basic (it didn't come with Media Center)

If I was to build and sell a small Media Center Computer for £180 - £200 would anyone be interested?
Q. Using Ubuntu as a base I would customize this to make it quick and to the point. Allowing quick access to the web, emails and media center applications. Can I please have some feedback on this idea and whether anyone would be interested in purchasing one.
Just to confirm this will be built to quick and easy access to the web, emails and media files. So not to be used strictly as a computer!

A. At that low of a price, I can't imagine a custom-built computer being any more cost efficient than a pre-made one. That, and I'd have too many compatibility problems with Linux... :P
