Just registered today, and this is my first post...ever.. anywhere! Greetings to all with computers and coffee. I am a distro jumping junkie, however not too much under the hood knowledge. I got sound up thanks to the forums. Started late in the computer world, but linux being open source has helped me learn. I have Mint on my laptop and PClos on my PC. Bye for now

I can relate. I did not even know such fora existed, until I started using GNU-Linux. I was living and ancient life-style!

Welcome fellow newb!

**Cybertek** · 11-27-2011

I have been jumping around in Linux forums for a while. I been trying to find someone that is a newbie like me. First a little BIO just so you get an idea where my head is. Retired Military 1974 to 1994, then commercial construction for about 9 years. I studeied to get my degree in IT from the University of Phoenix during that time, then started teaching IT related subjects (A+, Net+, Security+) at High school and communiity college level for the last five years. I now work for the United States Army Cadet Command at Fort Knox, KY as an IT analyst. Great job, to much work!.

I would like to know that there is someone out there that I can bounce ideas off of, and talk with about Linux issues. I just upgraded from fedora 14 to 16 this morning, and I am trying to find (codec sites) so that the movies will play.

Anyway, a big welcome and hope to see you in this forum often, BTW, I don't know to much, but my advise will be free, once in a while I get lucky and figure things out all by myself

Hi, Cybertek! I could almost say 'Hi, neighbor'!

I haven't really had many dealings with Fedora recently, but I always found this site helpful when getting it setup: Personal Fedora 16 Installation Guide
Steps for getting Flash and multimedia up and running are in there.

I would like to know that there is someone out there that I can bounce ideas off of, and talk with about Linux issues.

You just found a whole mess of people that you can do that with!

BTW, any idea why Peppermint would just crash for know reason? Strange, really strange! Then I reverted to OpenSuse and niether can find the Network adapter, but the Peppermint was up and running just fine, then BAM, nothing can find the NIC, anyway, have a great day

Sounds like a puzzler, for sure.
But whichever distro it is (Suse, Peppermint or any other), just head over to the appropriate section of the boards and start a thread about it.
Give some good detail, and I'm sure someone will be able to help!
