If you an get into Hamilton on a Monday night, (Sadly I cant ) get along to the lug meetings. At the beginning a lot goes over your head, just let it go, meeting the people and the tips you pick up by watching them will make your life easier, you will learn a lot, and you will build good friendships and strong networks. Linux is more community than OS IMHO ..... And the OS really rocks. Mandrake is good place to start in Linux, but most of the local lug use Fedora, Although there are a lot of die hard debian fans too. I'm on a slackware derivative nowadays, but we all learn from each other and help each other. Also Google is a very good search engine for linux users. David7 wrote:
Hello
I have just gone over, or come over, to Unix - Mandrake 10.0 they call it. It feels great. Are there any hints or advice for a new guy?
