    <b>man</b> is your friend!

    And if you ever really need help w/ something, hop onto irc and go to a linux chatroom and say: "Linux sucks, you can't __________________ like you can on Windows." (where ____ is what you want to do). You're guranteed to get like 5 people to give you step-by-step instructions on how to do whatever it is you need help with.

    I thought about swtiching to Linux before, but I was worried about software/hardware compatibility issues.

    Indeed. Trolling is by far the best way to get answers to Linux questions.

    ^^^ Too True, Too True..

    Well thanks for the help/support.

    I did have a problem, and this wasnt the first time too, i tryed to install linux many times before, but never got any luck... Well didnt get any luck this time too... Their (SuSE) web page says "Test and install without risks or problems" Nope not how it goes, just like the rest... PHLAK Mandrake, RedHat, what ever... I install, everything goes okay till reboot, this is the 4 time i had to reformat my HD and well im not going to try it again...


    Thanks for your support, and well funneh comments...


    P.S.
    Any1 want a free SuSE personal .iso CD? Mabey I could intrest you in Mandrake .iso install CD's, all three of them...

    They took up all my bandwidth for 5 hours, they can be of help for someone in Linux need...



    Problem if any1 know what it is...
    It reboots, and nothing loads, like no patition is installed. Except for SuSE, it went to a black screen with some word, forgot what it said... Started with "G" then flashed the "_" but you couldnt type or do anything but hit "CTRL ALT DEL" Witch is windows, i think...

    Okay if you want to configure GRUB for dualboot with XP, you HAVE to install it in the MBR. <a href='http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap10' target='_blank'>Here's</a> a Gentoo guide for installing it, but its applicable to any distro, just leave out the bit emerging GRUB and skip to the configurations.
