Hi, I tested Puredyne with the liveDVD and as Jack was working AND I could dim my laptop's monitor I installed Puredyne permanently this morning. I think this was a pretty good move. Before I was looking into AV Linux which is also very nice but since they threw out Pd AND I it was impossible to dim the brightness of my monitor (always full blast) I lost interest there rather quickly. Now I realize that Puredyne uses a different set of commands which confuses me. For instance, to do any operation that requires root privileges one simply types "su -" plus my password and voilà. In Puredyne I still sit there and wonder how to do the same. I tried the Ubuntu docs but didn't find answers that were working.
So I'm asking here for pointing me to the useful sources of information about these fundamental things about the distribution. WIth the audio stuff I'm basically ok for the moment. For instance, I live in China and I need to have at chinese characters at least displayed correctly. Some relevant apps which are accessible in the synaptic package manager fail to install because some dependencies 'can not be installed' or similar error. So I would need to understand these things... Best wishes Jurgen --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
