I think there are many more that are in the same position. A Gnu/Linux user must learn to love newsgroups, forums, tutorials and of course google searches. I for one would love to have someone show me an easy way to do all this software/driver stuff.

I'd like to learn about installing Linux applications.<br><br>I can install Linux... these days it often installs itself. What's holding me<br>back from a Microsoft-free computing environment is lack of applications.
<br>Music processing would be an example - CD ripping, burning, etc.<br><br>I can put Linux - say Debian or Knoppix - on my HP laptop, although I can't<br>make the built in wireless work. Would it be appropriate for the install fest
<br>to work on installing one or more applications? Will there be facilities for<br>downloading? I'd like to become familiar with the process.<br><br>Comments requested.<br><br>Thanks from Marty Kamp.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
