I have installed Fedora Core 5 on an extra harddrive. What I want to do
at
this time is to install a player that will play MP3's and internet audio
and
video streaming. I have been trying to learn linux for a couple of years
and
have learned a lot but I never have learned the basics(commands,where
things
go, and such). There is no place around here to learn linux.I have a
stack
of books 3ft high but none that I can find starts from the basics. All of
them assume that you have a working knowledge of linux. I have been
looking
for someone who lived close enough to help me on occaision. I was in
Raleigh
for a class and went by Redhat on Friday. That was a waste of time. They
said that I couldnt talk to anyone unless I had an appointment. That
seems
to be a bad way to do business. If people cant learn linux then how do
they
expect to get customers? The people on Trilug and Uclug have helped me
tremendously and for that I thank everyone. I know a Newbie can be a pain
but we and I dont have anyplace else to learn. Besides,I hate MS with a
passion!
Thank You,
WA Brown
