Re: basic setup to Up the Rosetta !!

Thanx Rein for the info,
But, i am interested in testing Rosetta using
my own 'logitech PS2 mouse' on REDHAT 6.2.
PC configuration is Pentium III, 450MHZ.
Is it ok ? Is Rosetta Trainer a Must to test
Rosetta ?
Is Rosetta Trainer free for download
and easy to train oneself?

regards,
karthik bala guru
