Since you are new to Linux and seem to need a bit of hand holding maybe searching for a LUG (Linux User Group) in your area would be helpful?
I would try and search for it. On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 1:44 AM, Michael S. Dunsavage wrote:
Well that's a shame. It's a shame that you can't seem to understand that what we're saying is google and experiment and then we can help you with stuff you're not quite understanding.
In case, once I googled and had doubt, I asked offlist to somebody (I would not tell the name since it is better in this case) but I got some highly arrogant and rough reply and at all I was stuck with the system in the middle of night. I am not saying that I cannot google and read the basic line(s), I would do that, and try that. But in future, when I come back to openSUSE (after some time), I would do in this way only which you are saying.
But let me warn you you're wrong about fedora. I switched from Red Hat to Suse for many reasons, one of the reasons was the way I was treated way back when I started with Linux on the list. I found most Red Hat/Fedora lists to be full of arrogant pompous people. As for Ubuntu. Well maybe that is the way to go, but don't criticize Unity. The owner of Ubuntu will rip into you. Ubuntu forums are actually rather user friendly, but I fear that the fact that you want to be spoon fed any help will run you afoul in any distro.
You have taken it in wrong ways, spoon fed in the sense of "understanding" not "googling"! So I can just "google" and read about the things I am having problems in (that is, when I get time), but I can do that with some sort of websites which don't talk of fully technical and advanced way(s). If I were spoon fed, how could I have created the three partitions - one for root and one for swap and one for /home. I have created some users, files, changed permissions, ls, grep, chmod, top, ps etc...etc.. commands I learned and it is not that which a spoon fed can do.
Time is money in the world today
It was true even earlier and centuries ago.
and you just won't find any one willing or able to sit down and explain to you in detail what's going on.
I agree with you but that much I didn't anticipated, I just wanted some little newbie acceleration, I got also but perhaps I had to read more on google, that I accept I have to.
Many links have be provided to you to get a general understanding of what Linux is and how it works.
Yeah, correct and when proper time comes, I would go through them.
You apparently never took the time to investigate these links.
Till now not, probable because in the office, I can check emails and have to do my work, but I can just manage to emails, in the office at least. I would, probably do that on holiday, unless I have to official go out of city.
If you did that and came back for some more explanations, you're questions would be accepted in a better manor and you would get somewhere, but we just don't have time to walk you through step by step on how to do things.
I would come back with this and would try to do in this way.
Sorry to see you go, but glad you're sticking with Linux, however I fear you probably won't because you're used to being spoon fed from the Windows world, and in the Linux world it just doesn't happen like that. Good luck in your endeavors. B-Y-E.
I already told that I do "google" search! Thanks for saying me best of luck and in the future, whenever, I would get my legs wet, I would definitely come back to this distro (openSUSE), so that I can ask only the questions which have crossed the level that of a beginners so that better ways and help could be achieved.

You won't need much support for Ubuntu.
Cool.
Everything you need is already configured.
That's really great.
It's great for lan clients too.
Ah, well.
But for servers I would be nowhere without Yast and this list to get me started.
I don't have to use server (right now) but only the desktop, thanks for confirming this. But when I get my legs wet (as I often say), I would come back, however, it is a future-type of thing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
