My favorite web sites are Nhl.com and Cnet.com and I have tried to install macromedia to watch videos and it is not working. I am using a knoppix boot cd. I'm trying to learn linux because I like to be different, and its fun to learn new things. But, this is really getting to me that I can't watch any videos.
Questions
1. could I install on a hard drive and use as my only op/system?
2. Do I have to worry about viruses and spyware?
3. What books do I buy to learn?
