The New Guys On The Block

Hi guys, as I wait for my refurb to arrive to install Linux I have been doing a lot of research. I said in a previous post that I needed a cheap pc to install Linux that will run at least as fast as a Mac or pc. I have been doing some research and I want to know if anyone has used the evolve so distro, the sparkylinux distro or the korora Distro.

It seems to me that these will be perfect Linux light distros to run on an old machine.... Or am I sadly mistaken?
Thanks

Best Distro For Apple Core2 Laptop Circa 2006?

I've Googled this but have found surprisingly little information.

What recommendations would you have?

I have used Ubuntu, and it seems ok, but i'm looking to experiment with family members. It must be noob friendly, people who are used to mobile phones and the like - used to Apples. So nothing 'Windows' like.

Cheers

Which Distro For Laptop?

im using the latest version of ubuntu on a 4 year old dell 780 optiplex and I am more than impressed with the speed and agility of the machine. Im so impressed that I have asked my friend for an old dell laptop so I can go mobile with this thing.
my question is.... do i install the same distro for a laptop as i am using on this desktop or is there a widely used laptop distro that the linux experts always use or at least on avarage use more than any other.
thanks guys

I Have To Use A Live USB Linux Distro. Which Could You Recommend?

Hi, guys! I'm new in this Linux community, and I must say that, for now, I feel at ease. But I need some help.

Look, the reason why I knew Linux is because I needed a portable OS to work in differents PCs (Mine is damaged). I found Slax Linux and I've tried it. It's very intuitive, but it's hard to add more programs (modules) because I have to look for each one I require. I need a distro with all the basic programs -LibreOffice, a good web browser...-. A distro which I can use inmediatly, without need to download or reboot.

So, which would you recommend? Thanks for your attention

Wireless Mouse And Wireless Keyboard Is Not Working In Linux Distro's

Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.

Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.

Thanks for any assistance.

Downloading With SSH

So I was able to successfully install CyberDuck on my MacBook and configure it with my VPS using SSH Authentication Keys and a Passphrase on my Private Key.

It seems to be working well, and I feel like I can trust it when uploading files to my VPS.

But what about downloading?

This may sound dumb, but I am not entirely sure how to securely download things (e.g. Server Backups) from my VPS to my MacBook using CyberDuck...

Sincerely,


Rob

I Need To Learn How To Install Software On Linux.

Hi. Sorry to be so stupid, but I just managed to load and install this Linux (which I really like a lot) on my previously windows <--(bad) system.
But now I need to upgrade some software (like Adobe flash), and I have no clue how to do this. I understand I should go to my original linux distrubutor, and select software thru them (my "Linux distro").
But actually, it's been awhile since I did the install, and I dont exactly remember where I even got this distribution. (I know, I'm dumb--sorry).
Is there a way I can look at my linux system files and see who my distribution is thru, and where is their website. Or would it be easier if I just went thru the whole download and install of linux again <--(not really looking forward to that).
Or even, am I wrong about going thru the distro to do installs/upgrades?
Anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated.

Long Live Linux !! David K
