Hi Dave,

Welcome to Linux ... and especially Dreamlinux.

Don't worry about being new, we were all new at one time.  I'm still a bit green behind the ears with a lot of things Linux but trust me, one Canuck to another, it's an easier learning curve than windows, and I've been here 2 1/2 years.

Keep your mind open and "forget how you did it before" because you're on the roller coaster and it's going up the BIG hill at the beginning.  Relax and enjoy the ride, everyone here will help keep you on track.

You're gonna love it!

Have a great day.
Bruce

Hi Dave, welcome to Dreamlinux forums. Nobody is better than anybody else here, there's just a mix of people who have spent longer breaking and then repairing things. Linux is the same as Windows in that respect.

You chose a great community to get started, there is an abundance of friendly, helpful people here at Dreamlinux Forums.

Have fun with DL

Hi My name is Rob and I'm from the Los Angeles area. I'm very close to retirement so now I have more time to test, use, and do some R&D on different Linux distros. In my spare time I like to drive to Palos Verdes and shoot pictures of the beautiful Pacific and some good landscapes too.

I've been a Linux user for about 5 years and well the 1st 3 years were only here and there and not very regular, then around Feb. 2008 I went into using Linux every chance I got as time allowed.

I started with trying out around maybe 20-25 different distros. My 3 top distros are DL, NimbleX, and Puppy, as of now I am working on getting more things to work on NimX, but maybe a year or so ago I liked DL 1st choice. It did all that my previous days with XP could do except print out with Asian fonts or characters. But DL by default displays Asian fonts on Asian web pages and will even copy and paste from a web page to Open Office Writer, but not print the fonts only squares. It also does a nice job of scanning a doc or pic.

I was able to add a certain file that a guy on the Puppy forum told me about. It's called: "ARIALUNI.TTF" and you just download it and copy it to /user/share/fonts/ on Puppy and on NimX it goes into /user/share/fonts/TTF/ yeah so that's how I got the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc... to display properly instead of funny square blocks with numbers.
 
So now what do the devs want to know about my ideas? I really don't want to guess but let me just give some ideas off the cuff. How about making Kisok CD's or Flash Drives for the major Linux distributions, keep the size down in the range of 90-200MB so it will still be fast, and use those Kiosk's at places like Internet cafes, Airports, Libraries, Motels, Hotels, & Restaurants. And make them very eye candy so  customers want to use them. And most of the users won't even know or care that they are using Linux. They just want their Internet   ------- You know what I mean? 

You must know already that Kiosk is a browser only app with all other apps taken out and that's how I got the 104MB NimX CD Kiosk. 

So now how small could you make DL 4.0 if it was just a Kiosk with only web browser? 

I will do some editing on this one next week and let you know what I can and cannot do. Also I'd like to do the same for Puppy with the Kiosk. 

I also am going to try to do the same with Ubuntu and Xubuntu since most of Linux users are attracted to that one.

I on the other hand like Linux Mint more because it has a higher screen res. 1024x768 as opposed to the max 800x600 of regular Ubuntu.

But anyway so much for what I'd like to create. Next is to implement them and make them work in the real world on computers.

Until next time    ----- Rob

Hello all,
my name is Steve, i'm from Australia and live in the state of Queensland, my love is sailing (haven't been out for a while) and so have become a full on land lubber!
My interest turned to linux couple of years ago, so i am still quiet "green" though may have something to offer a newcomer. I must admit i have played with nearly a dozen different distro's since my introduction to linux, finally settling on deb based distro's and slack's. I am a real enthusiast for the Xfce desktop, just find it so easy to navigate and find what i want in an instant.
Must comment hear what a beautiful desktop DreamLinux is, so please accept my compliements all concerned!

Hi Steve, welcome to Dreamlinux Forums. Yes, Dreamlinux's implementation of Xfce4 certainly is one of the best I have seen as well.

Enjoy your stay.

Hi, my name is Damien and I live in Ireland... After trying all kind of Linux distros I think I have found what I was looking for. Dreamlinux seems to be made for ease of use and stability... (unlike others). I am mad about photography, 34 years old, 6 kids that take most of my time and a passion for learning...

Hi,

My name is Graham and I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've been using Linux for about 11 years now and have recently been won over to Dreamlinux from OpenSuse. I work for a newspaper website but I am not a hardcore geek.

[djsroknrol]

Rob, Steve, Damien, Graham and anyone else I missed...welcome. You could not have joined at a better time. There's a new DL beta out that is just full of new things.

Hello all, my name is Kate and I live in Russia. I am new in linux at all;) And my english is bad. .I never used Linux before. But time to start is come when I first saw Dreamlinux It is really a DREAM! Thanks to all who worked on it!

Hi. I`m David from Allhallows in North Kent, around 40 miles east of London.
Have tried lots of different distros. Use Ubuntu, but thought I would give Dream a bash. Had problems with a USB wireless adaptor not being recognised. Changed it to a different chipset type (TP-Link TL-WN321G, available on ebay & amazon) which worked on Dream straight out of the box. Only odd problem with Dream is intermittent scratchy playback on audio CD`s. Have tried different CD drives. No audio problems with online content inc Youtube. Otherwise, delighted with this distro. Cheers, David (Ham callsign G6IYD)

Problem with poor audio on CD`s now sorted after reinstalling Dreamlinux from scratch. Only odd problem I had was the install crashing quite early on when using DL installer. No problems with OEM installer.
Now have ditched Ubuntu and have Dream running on two old HP laptops. Very satisfied user!!
Cheers, David
