linuxgeek: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Not a Dnewby, just want to be able to use Lionux

Joan,

It's not abouit enjoying or not, it's about figuring out whather I'm
willing to bother yet again with Linux. The list of things that I don't
know how to do in Linux and sort of know how to do in Windows, is very
long. And I get frustrated trying to do those things. I don't think that
INSTALLIN will help with that, although I have a machine that I know
that I can do it on, my older Dell XPS 8300. It has Win 7 on it and I
may install Win 8 and then get the free upgrade to Win 8.1.
I figuered that the time to Linux again would be now or just to give up
on it for ever. I have lots of Linux books, but all are from earlier
versions. I'd almos be willing to install one of the earlier versioin, I
mean really early just so that I'd have an appropriate book.

Anyway, TNX for the reply Joan.

> I don't care for Ubuntu proper, since my old 10.04, but I use Zorin, Mint XFCE/LXDE, Bodhi, and some others. Firefox finally has the Theme Font & Size Changer add-on extension, which helps on my netbook and widescreen monitor. I also use No Squint in Firefox to have separate controls for picture and font size. There are various ways to set a system font and size, I'm more into hunting these things out. Plus, if the default GUI doesn't work I add another and switch to the one I use more frequently.
