To: suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com Subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Today's welcome message Hello all!
Not "lurking", but "wurking"! Just installed SUSE and managed to get the KDE desktop working. I installed Wordperfect (selected it and saw it go in) but I'm blowed if I can find it. Where do apps live and how do I run them? My install listed 1200 applications to install, but where did they go?
To run them you can type their name at the prompt, or click the icon. WordPerfect, I think will get installed under /opt in something like /opt/WP8
Where can I find some basic information about the file system, such as what is stored in bin,usr and these other cryptic locations?
There is some useful stuff on this in the manual.
This X-server business, with workstations running applications on a "server" and seeing X-windows output on local screens, is this slow? Where can I find out more?
Talk to Felsted!
Lastly, dow we pronounce Linux as L-eye-nux or the lin as in fin ( no pun intended)
We don't care, we just want you to use it. But we say it as in fin. Somewhere there is an audio file of Linus pronouncing it the way he says it.
Ta lots
Chris
Yes, membership of the list has grown again since yesterday ...
Don't just `lurk': it's really good if people introduce themselves and tell everyone what they're doing. Also ask for help - as basic or as advanced as you like and we'll try to help as will others on the list.
Please post supplementary questions, replies etc to the list as well - the more people see what is being said, the more useful your response become.
Thanks very much to Christopher Dawkins for telling us about what they do at Felsted.
Keep posting.
