Survey says: Not enough desktop Linux apps (Download Squad)

Dec 3rd 2005 9:06AM The article left out the answer to its question. LUGs, Linux users groups. Hpefully you might live near one. I have to drive an hour and a half to get to one. I have tried several Disributions since Mandrake 7.0. I still can not do what I want with it so it is not on my main machine. I now have fedora 4.0 installed and I still can not change slave drives on that machine. I do not understand the messages it prompts me to answer when I turn the machine back on. I can not find the Linux machine with my Windows computer on my network. I have found the windows machine with the Linux machine. Still not acceptable. Installing software is another trick. You have to know what kind of Distribution it is based on, such as Debian or Read Hat. Red Hat supports RPMs and I have had some luck in finding and installing RPMs with Fedora 4.0. I am getting close to useing it, but I am not there yet. I know education is the answer and just maybe LUGs are the answer. We just need more of them.
