New Linux User

[techguy84]

I finally got down to playin with Linux again. I am now the proud runner of openSUSE 10.2 on my shiny new Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop. Its a great feeling because of all the added things you must do to get your hardware working properly on Linux, plus Im no longer bound by Microsofts "Use Us or Die" ideal.

Anyhow, I am doing a blog on my adventures into Open Source land over at blogger, and I will also have me a website set up at awardspace for all the stuff I do around the internet. Anyhow, if anyone is interested, I should have things going in a couple days. I am going to be covering the steps to make a fully functioning linux os on this lappy of mine. (my bugs were wireless card and IPV6 issues).

Its just a cool time right now as I never have had this much fun in a while and I just cant contain myself....

(Cool things to look out for)

WineHQ and Cedega Trials - Wonder if my cool Windows things will work now.
Dual Boot Pleasures or Pains - I still have Vista Utl on Just in Case
Which Linux Distro Is the Best - Personal Opinon of course (Kubuntu, Ubuntu, or other KDE/Gnome types. I have to have a desktop)

And more.....


EDIT

Sorry about bumping the EQ2 Emu out of the main slot, but I have a feeling it will see much more attention than me so it will be back in easy view at the forums front page anyhow.
