:scooter: I figured I could supply some bookmarked links for Linux users looking for help. Ubuntu Forums LinuxQuestions.org - where Linux users come for help Linux Forums - Where People Come For Linux Help ! LinuxCommand.org: Learn the Linux command line. Write shell scripts. An Introduction to Linux How to Run Ubuntu from Windows as an Executable - wikiHow How to dual boot Linux and Windows XP (Linux installed first) -- the step-by-step guide with screenshots How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Vista installed first) -- the step-by-step guide with screenshots HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials | Howtos about Linux and Open Source Ubuntu Geek--Ubuntu Linux Tips,Howtos&Tutorials|Edgy,Feisty,Gutsy,Hardy Firefox Support Home Page DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. These links should supply any Linux user using any distribution of Linux or Unix to get the help they need. Also help on installing and what edition might be right for you. These links have taken hours of research so enjoy.:scooter:
These two links are very useful cd's to keep around. Kinda like tools in a toolbox. Oh, and for You Windows users, Supergrub disk has a option to boot into Windows also. Super Grub Disk Webpage GParted -- Features And last but not least, in case you have a old computer that has a cdrom drive and floppy drive, but bios only lets you boot from floppy or hardrive. Cdrom is not one of the options in bios or usb or PCMCIA Cdrom. This Link will give you a seperate boot manager on floppy. I have used it and it rocks. SourceForge.net: Smart BootManager
Here is some more useful links The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux. (Official site of the table) FOSSwire Apt-get Guide - Linuxhelp Wiki Ubuntu:Hardy - Ubuntu:Intrepid - Linux Command Directory: Index The LiveCD List Happy Linuxing
Thanks for the list, there are a few that I don't have which I will be adding to my bookmarks. Here is one that is a must for all new linux users, The Linux filesystem explained . Wine setup might also be useful. I noticed a lot of Ubuntu links but you failed to list my favorite distro PCLinuxOS
Sorry bkdc. I can't get PCLinux OS to bootup on any off my boxes. You can post all the help links you wish for PCLinuxOS that you want. I also run Puppy Dingo Linux and NimbleX2008 but I concentrate on Ubuntu since I have that installed on 2 Laptops and 1 Desktop. You can fire away to your hearts content as far as I am concerned. Happy To have some fellow Linux users in this predominately Windows forum anyhows. http://www.yolinux.com/
Thats odd, I use PCLinuxOS on two of desktops with no problem. In fact the reason that I went with PCL was that I had so many problems trying to configure Ubuntu that i got frustrated. I dowloaded PCL about a year ago, did the install, and wamo, I was up and running. :taz: The only problem I encountered was configuring my wireless network & that turned out to be a minor encryption problem. I've recently tried Ubuntu live cd & could not even get to load. ????? I'm currently running PCLinuxOS 2007; 2009 is due to be released shortly & I'm excited. Hopefully it will be as good as 2007.
Well, thats the cool thing about choice. You can run what you brung so to speak. Just look at all the choices on the live cd list. Also the How to Forge Link and Fosswire and Table of equivalents and a lot of other links i try to provide Like Linux Command.org Are not distro specific. Neither are some of the APC Mag articles. Speaking of Free Downloadable Linux mags Here are some free ones. Full Circle Magazine
I just wanted to say thanks for posting the link to GetPCLinuxOS. I've recently taken over the site and am doing major damage (changes..lol). As some of you may be aware, PCLinuxOS is about to release the last TR for its up and coming 2009 edition. PCLinuxOS is also what's called a META distro which simply means you always have the latest by updating through APT or Synaptic. I'm proud to be a part of the team there, and invite any and all Linux users, and others to come join in the fun... Happy 2009!! CSolis aka Linuxera (EFudd, this week only...):yes:
csolisnfl, nice to have you join the forum. Now I have a PCL insider that I can direct my silly questions to. :wacko: By the way, damage to the site looks minimal :sweatdrop Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys.. I'm not much of a hacker, just a server admin, mod, irc cop, etc.. But I did bring a friend along named Hootiegibbon.. He's a great one for answering questions.. Very knowlegeable indeed. Maybe I can sway a few more of our experts to take a peek over here and help out as needed.. :kiss::flowers:
HI. I have read post after post on Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a lot of net hook up problems. When I tried it with dial up I did not get it to work. I tried PCL user name, password, phone #, up & working. I have wireless net. I have had good luck running PCL. Two years +. Looking forward for the up and coming 2009 edition.
fftopic: I guess we all are getting a little of of the topic, do to get back on Help for Linux users here is a link that all may find useful. Linux Hardware Compatibility Lists & Linux Drivers
