This past weekend I was finally able to create the CDs (my burner doesn't support 700meg cds properly, so had problems), and installed Mandrake 9.0. I installed it with most of the workstation options (games PC, network PC, etc) except the developer and scientific stuff, and also included Web/FTP, Mail/News, DNS, etc for the server end of things.
My goal with the installation is to learn Linux a bit better, but now I'm stuck - where do I go from here? The only thing I had to do to resolve a problem was to add an entry to the HOSTS file for my computer name (Gnome complained the first time I started up). Oh, I also seem to have some video problems. Tux Racer (I think that was the name of the game) - it's incredibly slow, even with my G-Force 4 video card... Also, the Xine video player doesn't display video, though I hear sound. What else can I do with Linux? I guess I'm looking to see how it can replace my windows environment, where I do web browsing and development. Hmmm... any comparable tools to CFStudio? Thanks for any tips. (and yes, I know it's a rather broad request, and will likly result in a variety of opinions... <grins>) Shawn
