Hi there, again. Just to tell you that I appear to have a working Linux system now, after previous postings regarding problems with the install.

Also, it is so much easier to learn Linux using a GUI rather than commandline/console, such as browsing the file structure as well as

opening

various apps. Sounds obvious, but this doesn't seem to be emphasised in

the

literature, where commandlines and editing config files abound.

Glad the install was successful. However, I couldn't disagree more with the GUI thing. For a newbie, the command line stuff is a far steeper learning curve but once you are even halfway up the cliff you have a much better understanding of what is actually going on in your linux system.

I'm renowned for doing things the hard way, however. Jenny.
