Since there is a introduction subforum, I'll say hello.
I am EmperorNero, I was a Win XP user as of a week ago.
Now I am dual booting with Ubuntu until I figured it out.
I will probably have a lot of troubles in that transition, that's why I am here.

Welcome. I installed Ubuntu on my desktop about 3 years ago, and don't run Windows at all now.

Well, learning bash commands doesn't exactly count as 'fun', but I bet it'll be good enough.

I plan to do so as well, once I'm over the culture shock. Originally Posted by Hal343

While I'm at it, there's something where I don't understand the the guides I found.
I downloaded firefox-3.5b4.tar.bz2 and I want to install it. I extracted the directory with xvfj.
Then I type "./configure", but it tells me: "No such file or directory".

It creates a directory and then it can be run from the command line. It is not source code as such, but a compressed program. Look for firefox directory (as opposed to mozilla directory that 3.0.10 is in) and view readme file.

For everything once there is the first time.
It isn't easy to change when you have already your habits (from windows) but as soon as you understand Linux you'll see it is great.

Hey emporernero and welcome. I'm also new here, but I've been using Ubuntu for about a year and used Knoppix sometime long ago.
