Guys, thanks for your valuable insights :). Since im
not a seasoned linux user yet my first priority would
be to get comfortable with linux from a general users
perspective.Doing things like word processing,
audio,video, use the Internet etc. Basically do all
those things that ive been doing so far on a
proprietary os.
Also, as I stated earlier , i need support for my ADSL
Internet connection (MTNL Triband) ,wireless (WiFi
Internet Access)and support for Bluetooth.
Since i also do a lot of programming work ,im
interested in Linux from a developers point of view ,
learning the system internals, and doing some
interesting software development work on the Linux
platform.
And Mehul, yes I would like to try out Ubuntu (KUbuntu
to be precise) and Sabayon . So plz let me know the
details as to how i can get in touch with you for the
same.
Thanks :)
