  Hi Chris...I can see you've been enjoying life. Good for you! When you have some time I'd like for you to look at my latest posts and suggest my next steps for setting up and using the separate internal SSD (blank now) in my Toshiba.

    Thank you, my friend :) No Pi, but good food coming up:). On your cup - Star Trek came to TV in Australia in July 1967 and I have been a fan ever since. Best wishes to your family. Wiz

  I was wondering if you could tell me which one of the tutorials has the most CLI terms and commands to start out with? Please?

  Almost chose Mint 19 with Cinnamon. But from my research I found that I like KDE more than GNOME. Also heard Mint MATE had KDE 2 which seemed better than 3. And after all that, I forgot to check if Kubuntu was K2 or 3. Still like it so far.

  Hey there. Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm still wandering around trying to get my bearings. I've some experience with PCs but I am new to Linux.
  So, I have Kubuntu 18.10. Was searching for KDE + like Ubuntu, Kubuntu was a no-brainer.

    "I'm still wandering around trying to get my bearings." I've been here 19 months and I am still finding gems and pearls. Go to Getting Started and start a new Thread (r-hand side), copy and paste what you have asked me. Our Admin @Rob is the Tutorial Guru and can advise. Cheers

  Wizard having Internet dropouts, may be unavailable. I'd turn my ISP into toads but I'm not sure how they'd go with their keyboards then.

  Hi What recommendations do you have for an absolute Linux beginner who feels Windows 10 has forced me to look to an alternative OS?
  
  Sep 8, 2018
  2. wizardfromoz
    Hi Shaun and welcome to linux.org :) . Go to https://www.linux.org/forums/getting-started.148/ and at the right hand side choose Start Thread and repeat your question. Someone will be along soon, may include me (sipping on a Sunday morning coffee in Oz)

  hi,
  What modules do you recommend in linux for a DNS server that uses a graphical panel for register a record(such as CloudFlare) and use database (for example, MySQL) instead of zone File?

  4000km road trip? That’s how to do it.

    That would take me a long way around the UK, wouldn't it, Nobby? I have to update that, it was 4 months ago, lol.

  My crystal ball says you have some more Trophy points coming up in the very near future! Congratulations in advance for making 1,000 posts on the forums. You talk almost as much as I do! :-) But you usually make a lot more sense! ;-)

    You stole my thunder, I was going to say "So now I have the 2nd biggest mouth on the Forum", lol. But that has been the way for some time, hasn't it? It's an honour and a privilege to be here, and enjoy such good company :) Roll on 2,000!

  Hey Wizardfromoz, I just checked out your homepage https://wizardfromozblog.wordpress.com and was curious to if this is an ongoing project? From what I can tell from looking at so far is that you are wanting it to be a place for Linux users to hangout and share information, is that correct?

    Hello Jake and welcome to linux.org :) That is so, but I have not had time to do it justice. I hope to begin to remedy that in the next few weeks. Feel free to start a conversation with me if you have further questions in that regard. Cheers Chris Turner
