OK, I have been very lazy & haven't done a thing to this site in months! Things are getting back on track
so things WILL start happening. First thing is a
screenshot I took of my current desktop. Here I describe what I have running & a few of the features of linux.
check it out.
What You Will Find Here

problems they may have.
What You WON'T Find Here!
.....Windows bashing & RTFM responses to your questions. While this IS a linux
site, some people feel more comfortable using Windows for some of thier day to
day computing. This is freedom of choice & is quite often dictated by
availability of software they use (games for example). A lot of people use both
Linux & Windows products & we see no problems with that. These pages were
written using
Arachnophilia,
a Windows based HTML editor. Why? Because we like it! That's why you will find
plenty of pages dealing with getting Linux & other OS's to live together.
.....RTFM is a popular response to questions on some forums. While Linux comes
with
documentation for almost anything you could wish to do, it is quite often
extremely confusing to the new (& experienced) user. This type of answer is no
help to anyone, & often an indication that the person responding doesn't know
the answer anyway. We do recommend you look at the documentation available, as
it is quite extensive, but if you don't understand it, feel free to ask.
Help Us To Help Others
.....Succeeded in getting your system to do something that you couldn't find
easy to
understand instructions for? Let us know what you did & how you did it &
we will try to include it here to help others. We need linux users to
contribute thier knowledge & experience to assist other users. Our
Help Us page
explains how to send us details of your success & what it means if you do
contribute.
.....We need web space & bandwidth
to help us grow. This site is currently hosted by
Fortune City,
& while we appreciate being able to have this site at no more cost to us
than having a banner on the top of our page, space & bandwidth limitations
restrict growth & the amount of information/resources we are able to
provide. If you can help us by providing space or sponsorship to allow us to
set up our own server, please visit our
Help Us
page.
