Hi, I have installed PCQ Linux 7.1 on my intel pIII machine. This is the first time I am using Linux. The system is working smoothly and I am so happy to get rid of windows! But there are a few teething problems that I have encountered:
1. I use a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel and its wheel button doesnt work in Linux. I serached several newsgroups but many of the solutions available were not helpful. So surfing the web is a bit tedious. 2. Like in windows, there is the Add/Remove option in Control Panel and I mostly install new software under Programs Files. Similarly, where should I dload and install new software here? Which directroy should server the same purpose as Programs Files in Windows? Also, how do I remove programs? I have a few incomplete installations and dont know how to get rid of them. 3. Could you explain the directory structure? I dont know what each dir. is for, what to put where etc. 4. Is there any MS word/powerpoint viewer available? I stil get emails attached with word docs and I am unable to view them or modify them. 5. Which is the best browser for Linux? I have netscape 4.77 but its not great. I tried dloading net. 6.1 but it doesnt install. Could u please send net 6.1 and other good browsers on ur next CD? 6. Also, as I am new to Linux, I wanted to know that is it possbile to do everything from the terminal screen say dial to the net, surf, issue various commands etc? Can I get a comprehensive list of the most often used shell commands? 7. The KDE version shipped is 2.1.2 and kde.org now gives 2.2.1. I wanted to upgrad the package but I dont how to install the package and also what package to select from the website for downloading. Will I lose my current settings, internet cnxns, installed software? Please help me out. I know I am asking alot but I think these are very common issues that many newcomers might be facing.
