Since everyone has seemed to tell me I must learn Unix for programming with Perl it's so much easier to make a web site that way I have decided to do it, I have installed Unix and have Perl on it but do not know first how to install Java 2 and how to set up my IP address so that I can connect to the internet. I have the domaine name and server address. I have a Gateway Labtop, with a 3com ethernet card, it is identified by the system, but when I connect the usb (seeing as I have optimum online a that connects with a usb) I then get a message unrecognized usb device, when I boot the computer . So maybe I don't need to change the IP address but need to do something else I don't know I have read through so many how to's and am stuck can anyone help? Thank you.
