hmm... I have been linux user ever since I passed out my PG. I was doing my project using VC++ and really hated everytime the OS crashed/BLOD. So after my final year project took a plunge in linux and started liking it.
I make use of both GNOME and KDE - even try to scribble code at times using Qt.
I used RH 9 for quite sometime and now have ubuntu.
Amazing factor of ubuntu is it's apt.
I can keep talking about GNU/Linux all day long....

happy linuxing

I tried using DSL Linux (on flash drive), it worked and everything, but I couldn't mount any drives! It just never works... I like windows for it's automatic drive mounting feature, it's really useful, but learning how to do it on linux would be even more useful.

Why DSL ?
DSL is meant to give full hardware support . It's purpose is to give you minimum work environment.

Why don't you try any of the live distros from the following..................

Knoppix
Mandriva one
Fedora
Sabayon(don't go for 4.2 or 5.0, too many bugs, try 4.1)
openSuSE and so on

All of the above mount windows file systems automatically.

Hi I am a newbie i Installed ubuntu 9.04 in my laptop HP 1211TU model. No Sound is coming tell me the steps to get the sound

I have a partitioned hard drive, first and primary being KDE and the second being Windows XP. I could use both when I had a Broadband connection, unfortunately I have moved house and can only get a GPRS via mobile connection and KDE does not recognise it.
Sad really, I was getting into Linux and am a fan, but without a connection I cant even update it. Catch 22.

First I need to know a few things.

Which LINUX (KDE is not linux-it is an interface in LINUX)
Which mobile

There are not many LINUX distros that have inbuilt GPRS support.
