I know a lot of my command line stuff...I've been in IT since the DOS 3.0 Days and before......some stuff you just don't give up.
In the middle of playing the Dependency game....must have installed 6-8 different apps...and still haven't gotten this MP3 player installed.
But that being said I was able to fix the Compiler error....as well as a few others. Finding a lot of sites with good info out there too.
But , hey that's all part of the learning adventure.

did you check the 'active on boot' box during the install
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/instal...etwork-devices
you need to use the network manager to set it after the install
The best source for info is the .org site, once your on the network
And JohnR is right, try virtualization, not the MSFT kind, it really helps when you want to try something different |

zinf on Fedora 9....I gave up on that one. I was just trying to figure out the method for installing software. Never worked with tar files before. I ended up installing probably 8 other apps that way trying to fix all the dependencies so I figured out the whole ./configure, make, makefile approach to installs that way....so in a round about way I got the answers I was looking for. |

TARs are UNIX zip files. TAR stands for Tape Archive. |

i just test drove 8.04 server with the desktop option.
Very nice, they are starting to get pretty with their design.
Of course you still have to know your way around the terminal but you google Ubuntu and any command the first catch is usually right. |
