Thanks man, that worked. I was just after apps to help manage my network and file sharing.

I recently installed Debian an old computer to run as a Server and Network manager. I installed WireShark and when I went to run it it couldn't find a Capture Interface, which I assume means Network Card. It is an old computer and it has a LAN connection on the motherboard. When I tried to use it as the Capture Interface it wouldn't show up anywhere. Is it possible for me to do it and is there anyway around it? Also, What are some good reliable Applications to install for Networking? EDIT: Delete, Redirect me or Move as required if I'm an idiot and didn't search properly.

I found after updating Windows my D-Link DWA-510 wasn't working with the new Ralink Drivers and I had to install the original Drivers to get it working as well. Glad you got a fix, took me ages to figure out, haha.

Awesome, I'll go with Debian. Thanks for the help.

Well, I don't NEED it to do anything. I just want to learn something knew and take up some time of my holidays between work. Any major differences between Debian and openSUSE?

The test was zegenie Studios Linux Distribution Chooser

Hello Edu, Sorry, I'm only new here. Please go easy on me, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this and I did check the suggested threads. Please if this has been done already or is in the wrong place, Please re direct me and delete this thread. I have my sisters old computer just sitting in the study, she has no need for it. No idea what the specs are, It's from 2004 or 2005. I'm thinking about using it as a server for File sharing, Printer and running the Router from and Network monitoring(Stop my sister wasting our bandwidth on Gossip Girl) between the 5 computers in the house. What Linux version should I run? What do I need to know? I'm TOTALLY new to Linux but I'm not totally computer illiterate. I took a test and I got openSUSE as a result but I would like to know your opinions. Please and thank you in advance.
