hi this thread is for refugees from windozes to introduce them selves.
I'll start!
years on windoze: 1995-2005
time on tiny core: 2 weeks
things I need help with: pulse_audio, gnupg, terminal commands, openvpn, after i erased the hard drive using DBAN the system wont recognize it lol
primary use of system: simple web browsing, youtube, playing cd's, possibly old dos games, transfering music to sdcard, tor web browsing. its really just a old dinosaur of a lap top that i can learn on. i figure if i cant do resource heavy things i will be less distracted and i can just simply learn how to really utilize linux
system stats: as i said its just a laptop i can learn on
dell inspiron b130
cpu: intel celeron single core 1.5mhz currently waiting on a intel 765 2.1mhz in the mail
hdd: N/A 37gb
OS drive: USB 32gb
Video: standard onboard from dell
Sounds: onboard
optical drive cd/dvd cdr
ram: currently one GB, I have another on the way
yeah i know its mega old and super slow. i don't need to be told that. I figure $30 is a small price to pay to learn new skills. once i'm proficient in Linux then ill buy a expensive system. whats the point in spending lots of money on something that i don't know how to use???
