    Linux Professional

    I've been a Linux Admin for some years until recently since I've decided to go back to school.

    I specialized in web hosting, so if anyone has any questions about Linux or Hosting just hit me up!

    cool deal, I've been attempting to learn how to use linux on and off for a few years now. I've tried a few distros like mandrake, ubuntu and knoppix but I always seem to give up before I really get the hang of it. The part that discourages me is hunting for and compiling drivers. Making everything work was the hardest part for me

      Ubuntu is pretty good about drivers, as are most Linux distributions now. There was a time when adding driver support meant either re-compiling your kernel or getting some hacked source code from someone on the net and compiling it yourself.

      Let me know if you have any issues, I can probably point you in the right direction.

        I wonder if there is anything we can do for calguns.

          I suggested they apply for free hosting since they're a 501(c)(3) and I know most hosting companies will offer that.

          Outside of that, I'm not sure anything else would be needed.

            I'm pretty sure calguns is getting free or very cheap hosting from GeoVario

              My mom's laptop was completely bogged down by Vista and she couldnt even use the thing anymore. So after some research I downloaded a copy of Ubuntu and burned it onto a cd and installed it for her. It took a few hours of scouring teh internets but I finally got it configured right and now her laptop runs almost as fast as my intel powered macbook pro. I was very impressed with Ubuntu's GUI and the ease of installation. Thumbs up for Ubuntu.

                      Alright, seeing as how I just installed windows 7 on my laptop, I think I will dual boot ubuntu with it and see how that goes.

                        Thats what I did on my laptop. The only thing that didnt work on Ubuntu (9.04) was the sound. I had to update the ALSA drivers which was pretty simple.

                          There's also this if you don't want to mess with partitions or drives.

                            Cool, so let me get this straight. Every time I want to use ubuntu I boot into windows first then open wubi like another program and then it boots into ubuntu for me? Is this like vmware or does it restart your comp and boot into it?

                              I haven't used Wubi, but there was a program about 9 years ago that was similar to Wubi and it would reboot into the new OS.
