Re: Taking another look at Linux: I have been following the discussion with great interest.
I began using PCś with the first IBM without hard drive ect. and became quite adept at using the dos command line. Since then I have used all MS version up to XP. About ten years ago I was dissatisfied with MS problems and tried SUSE Linux - it worked great without needing the command line. I made the mistake of upgrading to version 10 :-( - I went to Mandrake - didn't like it because it did not give me many choices. After trying several other distros I decided to BUY a distro - I liked Linux very much and was willing to pay for it - I bought Lindows stayed with it into Linspire -- It always worked - and when I did have a question there were answers to be had by opening an incident report. Then they went to Version 6.0 based on Ubuntu and things went rapidly downhill. Now I am running Ubuntu 10.8 after having file corruption problems with 8.4 The problem is still the same as always -- getting reliable help preferably in one place - without spending hours searching the net. I would love to learn more about using command line commands. */If any one knows of a course I could take I'd be interested. /* They way it stands, I'll always be a newbie, albeit one who uses Linux about 70% of the time.
