ahh thank you!@

 

No problemo.

 

You don't learn how to make/fix/or understand a car by looking at just the ad's for them in a magazine.

You need to get down to the nitty gritty and open things up and deal with it.

Linux only "sucks" to you cause you probably don't understand it and are completely lost. So it's not that linux sucks, right now just your understanding of it sucks. Which, don't get me wrong, it's not always easy.. but it's also diffrent and don't expect to be able to do everything you need to do in the GUI.

Learn the command line and learn it well... and you'll soon find out how bulky and slow and useless a GUI can be.

Oh... and if you're using something like Red Hat or Mandrake... don't judge linux as a whole on just those. Linux is much more. That's like saying Goodyear tires suck and all you've ever ridden is a Schwinn.

 

well my problem is the stuff we are learning in class isnt enuf for me i wanna do networking and really get into it but noone knows how to do it..nor will take the time to teach me

 

Geek... but its pretty much the truth. Command line is the way to go. Only reason I still use Windows is because I haven't found a Linux compatible PIC programmer.

 

Buy the book Interprocess communications in Unix - the nooks and crannies by Gray its a very well written book.

 

oddly enuf everyone else in my class gets the gui but me...im strictly on command prompt
