 enigma9o7 | just run linux from a cd/dvd or more likely today a usb drive | 01:06:03 |
| enigma9o7 | almost all of the popular distrubitions offer a live image, meaning,you can boot it without messing with your actual hard drive | 01:06:19 |
| enigma9o7 | just put it on a dvd or flash drive, boot it and see what its like | 01:06:31 |
| enigma9o7 | if you like it, installit | 01:06:33 |
| enigma9o7 | if you dont, dont | 01:06:35 |
| enigma9o7 | if yer like completely new and dunno which linux to start with, well yeah thats an annoying issue | 01:06:58 |
| enigma9o7 | cuz you only really know after you played around a while already | 01:07:08 |
| enigma9o7 | but if you have no clue and want a good start and coming from windows, install mint xfce | 01:07:20 |
| enigma9o7 | (personal reccommendation, others may reccommend others, but nobody who knows whats up will disagree that its a good start) | 01:07:45 |
 buff52heavy | Sounds good. I'm liking Arch so far. | 01:08:48 |
| enigma9o7 | well ok if you started with arch, good for you | 01:09:31 |
| enigma9o7 | nobody does that | 01:09:38 |
| enigma9o7 | like nobody | 01:09:39 |
| enigma9o7 | so either somebody helped you, or you really like reading | 01:09:47 |
| enigma9o7 | reading boring technical stuff | 01:09:52 |
| enigma9o7 | but good for you | 01:09:54 |
| enigma9o7 | a new linux user can most certainly start with arch if they follow instructions | 01:10:45 |
| enigma9o7 | and really folowing instructions is all that really matters | 01:10:52 |
| buff52heavy | I've got a good codemonkey in my corner. They've been volunteered to help me do the next install myself. XD | 01:11:28 |
| enigma9o7 | and you'll learn quicker than mint/ubu users | 01:11:30 |
| buff52heavy | I'm loving it so far. It's gnarly. | 01:15:51 |
