Hi Everyone [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/img]
Been Dabbling with linux for some years now, with the exception of the "Dreaded", and "avoided at all costs" forays into the Terminal, I can navigate folders/files and perform updates and basic stuff, but when it comes to things like compiling software or re configuring hardware.........oh dont know, as soon as go there it just all seems to go tits up [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img][img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png[/img] of course I suppose it doesnt help that I'm mildly Lesdyxic as well [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png[/img] I do try, but usually things either grind to a halt and then Nothing, [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/huh.png[/img] or it breaks big time, and i have to plump for a re-install and start over [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/blink.png[/img] after frequenting other forums and the IRC networks with requests for help, and finding that I usually get either Ignored, or someone just posts hundreds of lines of code without even a explanation of how, what, when, or why, [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/huh.png[/img] somewhere along the line i just became very dissolusioned with it all, and it seemed to me, that if you didnt know everthing about linux...."Tuff go back to window" and if you did then hey "welcome to the club."
Cue Linux Noob, well here I am throwing myself at your mercy in the hope that i can finally master more than the GUI [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/img]
