Never used Linux before - convert after Knoppix but have a Q
Greetings chaps
Never used Linux before but been PCing since the old DOS days (how I miss those 5 1/4 floppy EGA days.....). Always fancied the idea of using Linux as it seemed to be much better/stable than the MS alternative.
Tried the Knoppix LIVE disc the other day for the first time and was very very impressed. Needless to say I will be converting now and have obtained "Sams teach yourself Linux in 24 hours" as I know nothing about Linux and its commands.
A few questions:
1) Where can I get the DVD version of Knoppix from that uses the latest core like the CD version? The only DVD version I've seen is based on the old core.
2) I need to set up some form of streaming over my wireless network (Inexq CR054g 2.4Ghz wireless PCI adapter). I was previously using Relax streaming but I can't find this app for Linux so I assume I will need to use Samba instead - any pertinent links?
3) Does the Live CD have problems writing to NTFS drives? Is there a tool that will convert an NTFS drive to FAT32 without having to reformat it?
4) Apart from the "Sams...." book are there any other books/websites that you recommend for a beginner to learn all about Linux?
Thanks

1. The DVD is (as far as I know) only handled by a few people so it takes longer to catch up
2.Not to sure what you mean by streaming but samba is window's method of shareing files. Not to sure if it has anything to do with streaming.
3a. 3.4 useing Captive NTFS support should be able write to your NTFS drive. 3b.There are some commerical programs out their that will do that.
4. I think there is a sticky topic in the general support forum that has a list of linux commands.

I'm a newbie too, but as far as I can tell with the tgz(tarballs I think), they are similar to .zip files in windows, you just extract them and they should work properly. not too sure with the .bins I think you have to compile them.

hey, .bins are executed by double clicking on them in kde but I would cd to the correct directory and do ./filename.bin i find that always works. hope this helps.
