Hello World....I'm Back....:)

Dear Everybody,

It was quite a hectic week and yet also a fulfilling one I must say.

My friend helped me to quad boot my laptop. (xp/mint/openSUSE/fedora) and after I upgraded openSUSE, I started to encounter some problems. After reinstallation and upgrading, the same things happened again. It would just give me a blank screen unresponsive to anything. I tried this three times with the same results. I was able to get back though with a live CD of my mint distro.

I find mint very light to handle and and quite stable I must say. The wireless works right out of the box which leaves me with one less thing to think about. It was when I was exploring mint that I found gparted which was part of the distribution. So curiosity lead me to try and operate gparted and tried to uninstall and reinstall everything, (not including the XP and Storage Bin). After 3 gruelling days of self exploration and study, now I can safely say, modesty aside, that I can operate gparted pretty well. Infact I told some persons that if they need help in partitioning their own computers, I would be more than willing to help .

I can't wait for the release of the parted magic that ozar mentioned. i looked at the things it can do and honestly, it made my little knowledge using gparted like child's play.

Now I am left with another good problem. My quad boot is XP/Fedora/Mint/Debian.

Can somebody please share some sites where I can get to understand debian better?

I must say it looks very different from all the distros I tried. I want to learn it also...what it can do....what it cannot do...the commands I use for the other linux distros seems not to work with my debian.

Thank you for listening and do enjoy your day!!!

Most Mint terminal commands should work, because Mint is based on Debian, by way of Ubuntu.

Hi Hal343,

I think I have to look for another distro over the debian. I must have downloaded a different ISO version . This one only gives me a blank blue desktop with a debian logo and no tool bars etc. The menu only appears when I click the button 1 (left click mouse). This is a debian-502-i386-kde-CD-1.iso. I might try this sometime in the future when I have developed more my understanding of linux.

cheers!
