(idea) by Quizro (9.5 hr) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Sun Jan 30 2000 at 23:31:53
Quizro is now officially a Linux newbie.

Today I semi-successfully installed Red Hat Linux 6.1 on my laptop, thereby taking my first step into a larger world. Sure, X Windows doesn't work quite right (the pointer doesn't obey my commands, choosing instead to lurk in the top right corner of the screen, then occasionally whizzing around like a crazy monkey) -- but I didn't destroy my Win95 partition and the command line interface works just fine. I'm now learning this crazy Unix thing from scratch. It's so insane -- here I am, an IT professional, running into the kitchen and shouting "I just created a file! And moved it to a directory!" to my amused wife.
