How to Help a Newbie
,----[ Quote ]
| I was once a newbie to Linux. That was several years ago now, but I remember
| the feeling of using it for the first time. It was a mixture excitement and
| fear. I was excited by the challenge and that this was a door opening to me.
| I was fearful because I was good at using Windows and really knew nothing
| about what I was getting in to.

Linux. There Are No Stupid Questions.
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first started out in Linux, I was known as a "Noob", or Newbie. This
| is slang for "New User." As a new Linux user, it's only natural to have a
| lot of questions. I remember I went to a discussion group and was greeted by
| some really nice folks.

Welcome Windows Users - Adapt or Die!?
,----[ Quote ]
| We just need to be patient, continue forward, and keep pushing for what we
| believe in. So don't panic and go overboard if new converts start trying to
| change things towards the Windows way of thinking. You can't expect a baby
| to run on its first day, and you can't expect former Windows users to
| suddenly embrace the ideals of Open Source right away either. So be patient,
| work with them, and continue to fight for the ideals of freedom we believe
| in.

Quick Reviews: Linux, a n00b's POV

| Linux Mint:
|
| This is my favorite Linux distro and the one I dual boot on my desktop. It is
| based on Ubuntu, so it is Gnome(damn gnomes!), and is not that impressive at
| first glance. However like PCLinuxOS everything I needed in regard to
| Multimedia was there out of the box, as was Open Office. It is easy to
| navigate and with the Mint Installer downloading and installing packages is a
| snap. I had no problems regardless of the machine I installed it on and
| setting up the network was no problem. It is a little easier to navigate than
| Ubuntu, which is nice for new users.

Confessions of a Linux newbie

| This year my one-and-only New Year's resolution was to begin the transition
| to open-source software in general and Linux in particular. I thought I was
| just setting out to learn a new operating system. In fact, I was entering an
| entirely new world of computing.

Doin' it for the Noob...
,----[ Quote ]
| As much as I sincerely dislike the term "noob", I will use it here. Not in a
| derogatory fashion but just as an attention-getter in the title. Besides,
| there are so many rhyming possibilities.
|
| Here is what I want to do. I am going to present "The Noobie Desktop". This
| is, with room for generous variation, the basic desktop I present our new
| Linux Users upon initial install and during our Linux Labs. Let's take a few
| minutes and kick the tires, slam the doors...even take it for a spin. Then we
| can get to the real value of my blog.
