Hi,
I have after reading these few comments in the last 5 mins just bought Moving to Linux Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye! Basically I have been a Mac osx user and I cannot afford a top end machine for image manipulation and general office use and there was no way I was going back to windows and so I read up on the best Linux op sys to buy for a newbie like me and I built a machine IAW their harware compatability list. The install went great and I am running a gnome desktop and I love the layout and potential of it. My problem is basically that I constantly feel like It is my first day at school every time I switch the computer on and the amount of hours I am putting in to get over this verticle learning curve is killing me. I have not entered command line info since I had a ZX Spectrum but am getting around this slowly like a one finger dummy but my first question is
1 . Can anyone recommend any sites for people with a single orbiting brain cell like myself who are not programmers and just users.
2. I have just bought WIN4LIN and managed with the help of the installation notes to install it from x serve which showed me how to enter with root privilidges however it installed ok but says I have the wrong kernel. I downloaded the right one but do not know how to recompile my kernel with this new one and also I am shi**ing myself in case I damage something.
PLEASE PLEASE TAKE PITY ON A MERE MORTAL AND HELP PLEASE
