Charlie, Heheh, well, what can I say? I'm a master of the surprise entrance. ;-) You say you're brand new to Kubuntu, but you speak with the voice of experience. Where do you hail from? My learning style is much the same, trial and error and error and error. With every error, one's understanding of the problem evolves and the next trial is that much more likely to succeed. It starts hurting one's head to bash it into brick walls so often, but sometimes that's the best way of figuring out how all the rooms are laid out. Though a healthy sprinkiling of RTFM and Google can keep one from getting TOO bruised up. I also make it a point to blog HOWTOs of my hardest struggles so as to provide migraine relief to those following my footsteps. Hopefully they're useful to someone, somewhere, sometime. Hopefully we'll meet soon. Take care! Simón

And welcome to the Fort Wayne LUG list! I certainly did not expect a response from you...when Vern said we might be hearing more from you in the future....well, I thought maybe you might be in town sometime and drop by a LUG meeting, not reading the list and replying tonight. Anyway, I am brand new to Kubuntu. Just got 6.10 installed and working last night on a Fujitsu LifeBook A3040 notebook (AMD x86-64, ATI something or other video, Atheros Wifi, ATI sound of some sort). This was my second try, the first attempt was totally trashed. Not sure why, but I think it was related to notebooks and acpi=off issues. My learning curve is quite steep. I combine the best methods and elements of Search and Destroy with the best of Crash and Burn. I can probably best serve as the poster child of what not to do, and how not do it. :D Hopefully, we will be welcoming you to the fort soon!! charlie _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org
