Hi. Do any of you guys use linux? And if so, which one? I am very familiar with both Macintosh and Windows operating systems, and have decided to try Ubuntu(linux)... Does anyone have any tips/strategies or stories they wanna share about linux... Thx, and please somone tell me how to freakin get the wireless internet to work with this darn thing
I'm a big ubuntu fan. Check out the ubuntu forums -- they should be able to help you with your network card: http://www.ubuntuforums.org
Interesting. I'm also looking into setting up Linux on a laptop I want to connect to my home wireless network. It's currently running Win 95 and it seems that getting wireless cards to work with 95 is a big problem.
man, i cant even get this freaking linux thing to install a program let alone do anything they are trying to get me to do.
I used Fedora and recently ubuntu installing is easy once you get used to the commands (apt or yum) just ask a question about everything you dont know and people will help..best way to learn
I've used Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Knoppix before. (K)Ubuntu is probably the easiest to start using. Fedora is pretty good too. You need to find out what type of wireless card you have. That will make a big difference in installation.
My computer started to heat up real bad after installing linux? any one experiance that before? and also since i am also running xp on another partition, the boot order is linux first then xp, anyway to change that?
Previously I had used Mandrake, but my most recent endevour into learning Linux was also with Ubuntu as others mentioned. I'm really enjoying it, everything (even my iPod) was reckognized the first time I booted up, also had no problems getting my Wireless card working and accessing my wireless HP printer that's on the network. Great Distro...
