I have some programming experience, VB, C, HTML etc. I do understand how the command-line works. My main "problem" is not knowing what the commands are. And googling for the list commands doesn''t mean I know how to use them due to their lack of descriptions. Ie. "useradd -m username" - add new username. How could I''ve known which part of that was the command and the other part was to be replace with a username. Okay, okay that one was obvious, but I was just using it as an examp

Acturally, I am searching google. But that's after I've posted the posts. However, most of the item, what I've found included descriptions that only those who are fimilar with Linux can understand. Their descrtipions as to "how-to" are not as descriptive. Maybe it's me, I can try turning my monitor rightside up and see if it helps.

Where can I find tutorials on VI? And how do I get into VI? For the time being, I want to learn the basic commands first so I can get my way around Linux w/o the gui. Right? So how do I create a new use account? I've only been in the root account. The last time I reboot XP was last night. I don't leave it on when I'm not using it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/s

Again I ask, which distro for a newbie and why? "It''s the easiest for a beginner..." doesn''t say much for me. Or should I ask, what''s the difference between them all?? And why choose one over the other? Doesn''t matter if it''s for a newbie or not, which and why???

With that said... I see Wincustomize''s forum as a forum for Stardock related products, with a little of Q&A about other things. With wstalor.com, it''s more "open" to talk about anything, almost. Other forums I''ve visited are strictly related to skinning etc. BTW: If I didn''t get the email from Kona, I would''ve overlook this thread all together and wouldn''t have been able to annoy them there.

I''ve alot more to learn than I thought. I''m sure I can figure out how to do these things, once I know/learn/find the commands. I know there''s much more to it than the commands, but for starters, I "think" learning the lingos and the basic commands is the way to go. And I agree.... just download and go for it. I''ll get a copy of Fedora soon. 56k is not a good thing for downloading.

In this day and age. With offers of free emails and free stuff, one should ALWAYS have two or more emails! One for business, one for pleasure and maybe another for you naughty naughty people that like to.... and to.... in the middle of the night, while everyone is asleep. So I leave this thread with these words, please visit the following site http://forum.wstaylor.net/ as I am the unoffical adnim and moderator. Please "enjoy" yourselves.

It''s not about wanting the lastest. I want to learn the basics first, but have a distro that will provide the options to do more w/o installing a different OS. And because I don''t know, I''ll think as I assummed. Of course I could be wrong because I don''t know what I''m thinking is right, right?

Kona, could you re-email me again? I''ve been getting alot of spam in this address lately, and I might have deleted your email(s). Some had their emails bounced. I''ll email you to save your address so I won''t accidentally delete it. Since I don''t know the commands, I''m pretty much down to the clicking. I

Believe it or not, I''m getting little help from the linux forums. In trying to learn Linux, I''ve downloaded SLAX distro. Questions: 1. How do I install .tar.gz files? And run them, if not by "double-clicking"? 2. Where can I find the useful commands? (I''ve googled and found little discription as to how to use the listed commands) 3. Which distribution is the "best" for everyday use? 4. Which one of use use Linux? Raise your hand.

...the youths of today.... they're lazy and takes everything for granted, I wish I was young again. Being old enough to be drafted but still too young to buy alcohol, it's not an age one wants to be.

Tie Dye? Reminds me of hippies smoking weedies and dancing around in circles. Wouldn't that be fun. Too bad I've only seen them on TV.
