Hello Everyone,
I'm brand new to the Linux world, having just installed LXLE on a 3-year old ASUS netbook (1.6 GHz ATOM dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM) last night. The install went just fine but I lost the ability to turn the wireless adapter on... ;-{ There is a hotkey sequence, Fn-F2, that is designed to do this but it doesn't work after the switch from Win7 Starter to LXLE.
The computer itself responds so much quicker with the new OS. This gives me hope that I've made the right choice. I became disenchanted with Microsoft quite some time ago but kept moving slowly forward with the current.
Anyway, I've been a Windoze user for a while now and remember the hoopla of the Windoze 3.0 GUI rollout. I had switched over to OS2 at that time and was already doing all the 'cool' graphical things that 3.0 claimed it would do. Well, you know how those rollouts are as much hype as actual functional...
I do remember using the command line quite a bit in the early 90's but I've never written any code. I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with Linux now and have future plans for a print server for an older HP printer, a bit of NAS and maybe even email and blog pages!
Lots to learn and do....
Nice to meet you all and thanks for the support (I'll be needing it),
Jay
Enjoy the ride!
