I just got linux... - Toxic Injection - 08-16-2010
Hey guys i just got linux for my PC im running it off a 4GB Usb stick and i think it great.

RE: I just got linux... - DAMINK™ - 08-16-2010
What version of linux are you running?
RE: I just got linux... - Toxic Injection - 08-16-2010
10.04 is the version im running from what i seen on the site its the current version of linux.
RE: I just got linux... - DAMINK™ - 08-16-2010
Linux is a big word. What i mean is what distro.
Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red hat, Susi?
RE: I just got linux... - Toxic Injection - 08-16-2010
Xubuntu is the one i have
RE: I just got linux... - DAMINK™ - 08-16-2010
Yep Xubuntu is a good distro man.
You will find most of the good tools already installed i suspect.
Enjoy Linux mate. Damn annoying OS it is lol.

Firefox should be built into Xubuntu i thought?
You will have weeks and weeks of fun playing with it i assure you.
Followed by weeks and weeks of frustration when you do work it out because you want more functionality.
Thats what i find with most new Linux users. They love it to start. Then over a few weeks they start to try more daring things.
And ultimately destroy X or something similar then give up. Me included lol. Damn linux.
That said i will probably be installing the new Mandriva soon. I really love that distro for some reason.
Might add. Install Wine the first chance you get. Its a good emulator to run windows apps inside Linux. And works quite well i must admit.

it depends on what you are going to do...
I highly suggest aircrack if you want to hack wireless...

As linux is evolving and as I support Canonical and Ubuntu I gladly rock
Ubuntu 10.10 Gnome.
and for all that are OMG Gnome is bloated,
If you can stand windows then gnome will be fine. esp if you want a full featured enviornment.
