I have downloaded Linux, and am going to boot from it shortly. I'm using an IBM t40 laptop, which usually works rather well with T40s without much of a problem
The only problems I have had so far are rather basic things which I wish to understand: :-D
(1) Using Ubuntu, I could never get the video to work. After searching the 'net over and over, the only answers I found were either "it won't work" or some long, verbose "how-to" which I could never follow!
(2) simply installing programs, as I don't understand what it's doing. Kernals, root, etc. I don't yet get, but want to learn! Is C++ needfull to learn Linux as well?

Thanks for your time! :-D !
Edit: Using or have used Ubuntu, Knoppix, and about to try Auditor Security Collection.
