And this one I think is my favorite.

Never have tried to configure, or use a window manger before. Any hints or suggestions on which one to start with?

edit: presently looking at evilwm.

So, When I do settings > synaptic package manger, the password dialog opens, I enter my passwd, click the ok button then poof! nada!!
                                                                             

Hello all,
Thought I drop by to say hello.

While I am not new to trying out different Linux distros, I have yet to find a place to call home.

With the plethora of subjects to learn to use Linux well, it can be overwhelming, I mean you can only type in basic commands for so long.

I have often thought that most Linux communities should have a Mentoring/Tutoring program for new users. That would serve to put them on the correct learning path. However I can see how the time commitment issue for the volunteers, of such a thing would be a discouraging factor.

Well... I rambled on long enough.
