  1. Thank you so much! What great information and knowledge you both have. (Either that, or good researching skills...;) )

    My class is using Fedora Core 1.

    I am planning on installing Linux onto a secondary HD on my computer (which already has WinXP Pro on the main drive). I saw sonething one time about Fedora Core 2 and Win XP not getting along well together, with hazardous endings to both OS's. Have either of you heard of this, or maybe something else I should be aware of when installing Linux onto my secondary HD?

  2. Ok, in hitest's sig, he had a link to a page with lots of good links to other Linux information pages.

    I'm looking for some good Linux Tutorial sites for beginners. (My class is using RedHat Fedora Core if that makes any difference in the tutorials.)

    Yes, I know I can do a google search, but I thought that maybe some of you would be more reliable to get these links from since you know more about Linux than I do.

    Thanks in advanced!

  3. Ok, I'm taking a Linux class this semester, so I'll be asking a lot of questions about it for the next 3 months, if not more. :)

    My first question, I would like answers not only based on opinions, but on facts as well. (Also some links to support them if possible, to increase my understanding and knowledge of Linux)

    In my class, we are using RedHat Fedora Core. Last semester, the class had used RedHat 8.0 (I have friends who took it then.) What I'm wondering is how much of a difference is there between them, and which one is better over-all? (If RedHat 9.0 is better than both, I'd like information for that as well.)

    Thanks for your time!

    <edit> I should probably also mention that the only experience I have with Linux was that I installed Mandrake 9.x (9.1?) on a secondary HD in my computer at one time, but ended up having to take it out cause the bootloader got screwed up shortly after. During the time that I DID have it still in my computer, I played around a little bit with trying to learn a few of the programs and how to burn CD's with it.

  4. True, it's going to depend on how in depth you are wanting to get into the photo editing.

    I've heard a lot about infranview, but I haven't personally used it. (Although I do plan on downloading and trying it sometime.)

    The program I HAVE personally used and liked is GIMP.

    NOTE: Both Infranview and GIMP are FREE programs. :)

  5. Have you done a Disk cleanup and defragment? Clean out your browser cache and clean up your cookies?

    You can also set your system to do a disk scan, booting into safe mode to run it.

    This is usually pretty good about clearing things up. :)

    Maybe I missed this as well, but what is your OS?
