  • Hi lads,
    I am (as title suggests) an absolute beginner.
    I bought (maybe a bit prematurely) an Omnikey 3121 card reader


    I am waiting to get a Technomate receiver... that purchase is a few weeks away yet due to funds...


    I do have a Ferguson Ariva 252 unit at the moment.


    I have a laptop which I can use for Linux, it currently runs Windows.


    I have searched the firums in the hope of finding a complete idiots guide to cardsharing BUT I was overwhelmed with all the jargon.


    Is there a really easy to understand guide to sharing my card around the house?


    Can I do it with Windows or do I need to run Linux on the laptop?
    I did set up a Linux server a year ago despite not really knowing what I was doing, and my wife runs Ubuntu on her old laptop and loves it, as when she was running windows it kept freeaing and was always problemartic, so do I neet to run Ubunto or Ubuntu server?


    Again a real idiots guide would really help.


    Sorry if this seems lazy but I did search this forum but was getting confused, I even looked up youtube to see if I could find a step by step video to no avail.


    Any helpful leads you can throw at me will be appreciated.


    Steven
