Got Ubuntu on a lappy. It's ok but I prefer Linux Mint. Welcome to the small band of people who recognise a decent Operating System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister Jag Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm struggling with a Netgear media server - when it works I can listen to all my Sidney Devine LPs; but when it doesn't, I've got to listen to the wife. I dream of Ubuntu. Have heard good things once installed and operating ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for step by step Linux tutorials with simple exercises, try http://linuxzoo.net/ it is primarily used by Napier University, but is open to anyone, all you have to do is register and it allows you a virtual machine on-line running linux.
