[nmglug] Wireless G with RH 9.0

This is my first time to post to this mailing list.  I have an old desktop
system that I have set up to dual boot Windows 95 and Red Hat 6.2.  I would
like to set this system up with Red Hat 9.0 with a wireless g card so that my
9th grade son could use it for internet browsing - he does alot of this as
research for speech and debate tournaments.  I want to minimize the amount of
money that I put into this fairly old system.  That is the reason I'm
investigating having him use Linux.  If I could get this to work, I figure
I'll only have to buy the wireless g desktop card.  I've thought about
upgrading the system to Windows XP since I can't find a wireless g desktop
card that supports Windows 95.  But then, since I only have 128 MBytes of ram
in this system, I figure I'll have to also upgrade the ram and it will all
just cost alot more.

So, I'm wondering if anyone on this mailing list has any experience with
setting up a wireless g desktop card with Red Hat 9.0 and could recommend
what wireless g desktop card to get and where to find instructions on how to
do this.  I'm using a Linksys Wireless G router at home.

Also, does anyone know a good place to get Fedora distributions on CD?

Thanks for any help,
