How to make your life in Linux most ease - My life in Linux is now ease

jamesleon
The you can do is chage your linux to SuSE 9.1, These linux meke all for you. He install your modem, printer well your every hareware.
The it brings software as mplayer to see movies (these are similar to Media Player), Xmms to play musicb (these are similar to Winamp), Kopete for every messengers, K3B for write yoour cd's and dvd's (these are similar to Nero), Mozilla (these are similar to Nestcape).
And the best is that you do not have to pay for the lisence its free.
And SuSE heve good games that Unreal tournamend, Quake 3, Medal of Honor and Wolfenstein Enemi Terrytory, that you play them in windows and now to in linux.
He have a Program named QT Designed similar to Visual Basic.
I invite you to now of linux if you don't now of them, or try to see SuSE 9.1 so that see its ease.
Try it and tell me.

For me Mandrake, RedHat and other "user friendly" smile.gif distributions are good for newbies and are easy to install and us.

You are worn "qwijibow" the distro of red hat have xmms but don't haves your plugins. This version of linux don't have one program to view movies. And have pour games. The more ease is SuSE.

I agree with jamesleon for SuSE being the best home use linux distro. It has nice 3d desktop effects and a nice user interface. QT is not too impressive, I just hate "Visual Candy" compilers...And the other programs are very useful and most of the programs are not found on other Linux distros smile.gif...

i heard that SuSe is commly use for hacking dry.gif

Yeah.....
The Linux community is full of hackers...
its written by hackers like Linus.

and yes, hackers use linux because the source code is available.

you are probably confusing the meaning of hackers with "The Plague" from the film hackers ?

Although i would say SuSE is a poor choise for hackers...
Linux From scratch or Gentoo.. or maybe SLackware for those into hacking.

note: Hackers in the Computer sence of the word (not the paranoid american hollywood sence) are people who code... code kernels program or whatever..

a correct definition writen by a computer literate person.

I think every distro is easy if you oike it, you have only to find the best for you...
i use SuSE 9.1 personal(without gcc and bintuils by default sad.gif) and it isn't to easy as you say...certanly if you install only rpm for suse.de It's easy but if you try to compile the same package you have to work much than slack, because the structure of SuSE is a little bit different between the other Linux distros and so also configure to start at boot HTTPD became difficult... wink.gif

On every distro it's possible to do hack, just have the knowlodges

what does this mean ?
most distro's do have all the pluggins, and dvd players, and i dont know what you mean by pour games.. but yeah, most distrp's have games.

and why is there a bar under my name that says warn 0% [][][][] ????

I think Red Hat Linux is more popular than any other distribution. I use Red Hat and think it works fine.... I am still learning and find it easy with Red Hat... I have not used other Linux....
And about players I hardly use computer play music for me... unsure.gif

cool... i first saw the bar after "jamesleon" posted that incoherant post starting with "you are warn"
i thought id recieved a warning after pointing somthing out above smile.gif

wow this has gone off topic !

right... easy linux distro's
They All come with similar porgrams, programs that are missing can be easily downloaded off the internet.
they all use similar versions of KDE, setup in a similar way.

things that differe from distro to distro are things like init scripts.
redhat follows a list of symbolic links in a runlevel folder in orger of the number in the filename.
you edit runlevels by adding or removing links (shortcuts to you windows users)

slackware uses a simple script, that tries to run all the init scripts, you controll which ones are actually run by setting them to executable, or not executable.

and gentoo uses a unique rc-update way.

this is one way in which distro's differ, HOWEVER, each distro has a graphical tool (even one in KDE) to edit these runlevels / init scripts, the newbie linux user will never touh these init scripts, so as far as ease of use goes, this doesnt matter.

anouther way in which the distro's differ are the package management systems, every linux user will use these at one point ot anouther.

so in my opinion, this is what it all boils down too on userfrienlyness.
how easy is it to install, or uninstall a program.

Plain RPM's with redhat-config-package is very easy. it solves dependeny's asks you to inserts disk 1,2 or 3, and does everything in a nice graphical environment.

however this is limited to the software on the disk.

if the user strays onto the interned downloading rpm's dependency's can arise, incompatable versions, etc etc.

there are tools to fix this, like YUM, APG-GET, but they can be scary to a new linux user.

some people have never been exposed to a command line before.

personally, i like Emerge in gentoo.
its easy to learn, aito solves dependency's auto downloads all the programs, and has the laregts depositry in the linux distro world... almost anything you could possibly want to install is in the gentoo portage tree.

however, gentoo installs from source, which takes a while.

and gentoo has no install program, you need a system like knoppix to build gentoo. which is way too hard.

the perfect Linux system for a newbie, would have Mandrake's Installer, Gentoo's Portage Except with Binary programs instead of source code. Redhats package config tool adapted for Portage.

no wait... i changed my mind.... the most easy Linux distro is Linspire (formally lindows)

Linspire has non of the flexability of linux.... but you can install and un-install porgrams from a graphical web page. and even the most technophobe can learn to use a web browser right ?

    adpsimpson. Having spent ages wishing the hotkeys on my laptop would work, I spent most of an

    method... The first step is to find out which of the keys are registered by the kernel, and what
    their keycodes are (the unique event number that they cause). To do this you need a program called

    for a long time I have noticed that the hardware support is not the best. You can read which
    hardware is supported, but this is not the best way because if your printer e.g is claimed to be
    supported by cups on their website, it's not ensured that this printer is really supported. I
    had so many printers, which should run with cups (only an example) and at the end these printers
    then print pure crap . Another example are graphic adapters...I have 3 different cards and e....
