Taking the plunge

[Alan]

Okay with all this talk about Linux doing the rounds I've decided to take the plunge and get it *gulp*

Problem is when it comes so software I'm rather clueless . As Oddball once said "I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work" and that's XP not Linux.

So to start things off I see this thread http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=120294 has the links of where to get it......

As I stumble along I'll update this thread asking nay plead for assistance

You could always try out a live cd first and see if you like it.

Just remember that the feel you get on the liveCD is very sluggish because its running of the CD and didn't configure all the drivers correctly etc.

I think they misspelled Capitalist Running Dogs.

If you put it that way...
Maybe we should just all post our addresses as our sigs. Mine would come out to be something like Node 4456 Galactica, and the rest I can't really remember. Feels so good not to be a regular earthling
