Umm, if your questions are as basic as this, perhaps you're not ready to embark on such a major reconfiguration of your system as changing your X11 version. I'd never heard of Libranet Linux, but I found their web site and they claim to be easy to install and pre-configured for beginners. Before you try to change the system too much, you need to invest a little time and effort in learning Linux (or Unix, it's close) fundamentals, like user accounts and permissions, how the file system is organized, the shell and how it's used, what a process is, stuff like that. I've been using this stuff so many years I really don't know of any good resources for beginners. Can someone else on the list suggest books or web resources for beginners to get a quick start on fundamental Linux/Unix concepts? And BTW, I'd like to find something similar for people who are new to Windows 2K or NT. There are always lots and lots of details, but it's hard to find concise information about fundamental concepts that's organized for intelligent beginners. > -Wakan Tanka - "Great Mystery" for indigenous Americans -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
