Defining the pros and cons of the Linux open source computer operating system depends on any of a number of variables , benefits and advantages of each and every different as well as distinct computer user as well as the functions , uses and settings of each and every different computer user. It’s as if the computer hardware expert Douglas Heppenstall asks prospective computer users and buyers “What is it that you want to use your new computer for?”
Linux affords and offers a number of distinct as well as beneficial advantages to computer systems and computer users.
First of al Linux offers true multitasking. Linux will definitely run a large number of computer programs at the same time, and with great stability. Remember that a computer browser is a program. An office suite another. A media player, disc burning, and media players / centers are all different and distinct programs. Linux can run any of a number of different computer programs all at the same time, smoothly and without crashing or coming to a crawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl.

How to Make Your PC as Fast as the Day you Bought It [/caption] One of the most frustrating things in life is a slow computer. Every few years, we buy an expensive new PC and love how fast it starts up, runs programs, and loads web sites. Inevitably, though it starts to slow down, until eventually we are pulling our hair out......
Setting up a new connection means that you will be making changes that affect the way your computer functions. This means that you will be prompted to provide the administrator’s (root) password. Without this, you will not be able to proceed.
The first step in beginning the connection process is to double-click the Dialup Configuration icon on the desktop. Then, Add New Internet Connection panel opens. All you should need to do from this point onward is to type the necessary details into each window and dialog box when prompted, and then click on Next. If you have a modem attached to your PC (or installed inside it), but it has not been automatically detected and configured during installation of Linux, the Select Modem window will open at this point as Red Hat Linux attempts to auto-detect it. Make sure your modem is switched on and connected to the telephone socket. When the modem is found, you are given the options either to adjust the settings or to accept the device as detected. If no modem has been detected, you can attempt to set it up by inputting the settings provided in the modem’s manual. In some cases, your modem may not work under Linux. If you have a fully configured modem, the auto-detect procedure will be unnecessary. After the modem has been confirmed as fully functional, and you have all the necessary information relating to your ISP, the Dialup Configuration procedure should take only a few minutes. If you have set up an internet account in the past using Windows 95 (or higher) you will find that the procedure using Dialup Configuration in GNOME is very similar. Once the procedure is completed, you can click on Add to add any accounts with other ISPs you may have. Finally, click on Close to complete Dialup Configuration.

The new Linux user is bound to run into basic problem areas sooner or later. Its like owning a car , or working with Microsoft Windows. It all comes down to basics. Master the basics and you are 80 % there. Simple as that. Just like the basics of computer workstation networking.
Problem one to be expected is ” I cannot Boot Linux Anymore”. It seems that you have successfully installed the Linux distro of your choice. Then one fine day you may a change to your Windows OS- Windows 09 , XP or Vista / System 7/ Suddenly Linux no longer seems to boot and indeed stops working. You no longer see the lilo boot prompt. so you can no longer specify that indeed you wan to boot Linux.
What to do ? It seems that various operating systems tend to think that they are the only ones in the universe. It not unlike media centers in Windows that when newly installed take over and make themselves l”King” the “default” setup.
Therefore when the new Operating System is installed they write things to the area of the system or specifically the hard drive – or now sometimes solid state “hard drives”, called the Master Boot Record (MBR). This process overlays and overwrites the basic Linux boot loader (called LILO) and stops you dead in your tracks from booting Linux.
Overall the best correction is a good prevention . Make an emergency floppy or usb stick as a boot disk.
Keep this handy, when you do update or change your system ( or during any other significant event in your “Linux career” , such as repartitioning your disks or rebuilding your kernel.
Thus if you make a mistake then you can boot with your boot device – be it floppy or usb stick , or cd / dvd.
Its not unlike safe mode in Windows.
Then when you have rebooted your system using your boot device , simply log on as “root”, then type LILO on the command line. This will repair the MBR ( Master Boot Record) reinstalling Lilo.

The Gnome Red Hat Package Management system (RPM) is a graphical front-end to a system that provides a software control center. This RPM can:
— Show you all software packages currently on your system
— Enable you to add or delete packages
— Enable you to check the contents and integrity of any package
— Enable you to reinstall any package that does not appear to be functioning correctly.
Running the Gnome RPM
• It may be useful to think of a “package” as the way in which software is conveniently bundled for ease of installation and access within Linux. Installation often requires files to be installed in several different locations on your PC to function correctly. RPM helps you keep tabs on these files.
• You can run the Gnome RPM from the Gnome Panel (as shown here) or directly from the command line if you prefer working with text-only commands.
A File Manager Window
• The Gnome RPM window displays the packages on the computer by arranging them into groups in the left-hand panel under Packages.
In the right-hand panel, the contents of a group highlighted on the left appear as icons. To find out more, or to carry out any actions on a package, click its icon and then click the relevant toolbar button.
Install and Uninstall Buttons
• The Install and Uninstall buttons add or remove the package from your system. Once a package has been uninstalled, it is removed from the Gnome RPM.
Query Button
• Clicking the Query button on the toolbar opens a Package Info dialog box, which gives information about the selected package.
Verify Button
• Clicking the Verify button in the Package Info dialog box checks the integrity of the files that make up a selected package and ensures that none has been tampered with or corrupted.

; An “interesting” answer to what is a common if not annoying question to Mr. Pogue a columnist of the technology venue of the famed mainstream New York Times www.nytimes.com.
One of the annoying questions that he gets asked repeatedly by “nubes’ or neophytes at “cocktail parties” is “Which should I / my kid / my family purchase as a computer – Mac or PC ? As Mr. D. Pogue relates ”
A: Mac or PC?
“Q: I’m going to get torrents of hate mail no matter what I say, so here you go: Mac, if you have a choice. Why deal with viruses and spyware if you don’t have to? Also, they look nicer, and the hardware and software are designed together.
Of course, there are good reasons for going Windows instead, like running a particular piece of Windows-only software or getting a netbook. And Windows 7, due end of the year, looks really sweet so far.”
interesting answers to a standard question. Yet the answer includes points of viruses and spyware. Yet the answer itself is limited only to Apple Macintosh computer operating system as the only available option in the world. What about Linux ? Are we missing something ? Earth to Mr. Pogue .

•Most of the customization that you are likely to carry out is done through the GNOME Control Center.
•There are three ways to access the Control Center:
1. Via the Settings menu.
2. Via the GNOME configuration tool.
3. Via a GNOME Control Center option on the sub menu of the Settings menu. From this sub-menu you can access a number of configuration options.
•The Control Center then opens. To access any of the Control Center tools, click on the appropriate entry in the left side of the window and the workspace on the right will fill with the relevant controls. If you have used operating systems such as Windows 98 or the Mac OS, you will be reasonably familiar with many of the configuration options you will find in the GNOME Control Center.
•The GNOME Control Center contains seven main groups of controls:
•All these offer submenus, each of which contains many configuration options. Most of these give you the opportunity to test your changes before accepting them as final.
•If you have made some accepting them(i.e., you have clicked on the Try button rather than OK) and you then attempt to quit the Control Center, a Warning box appears giving you a chance to Discard all changes, listing all modules that you have modified.
•The next pages shoe just a few of the dozens of tools or caplets that are available via the GNOME Control Center, beginning with the area that everyone usually to personalize first- the GNOME desktop.
Desktop: Background
The tools in the Control Center can be used to choose a background from an image or from a solid color or a gradient. If you choose to opt for a gradient, you need to choose two colors and then specify how these are to merged. Here, as with most other controls, you are given options to try out your changes and revert to the original state if you do not like what you’ve done.
Note: To cancel the changes, click on the Discard all changes button in the Control Center’s Warning box. To confirm a change, double click the highlighted entry in the list and make the modifications. These can then be confirmed by clicking Ok in the Options windows.
Desktop: Panel
The Global panel properties caplet, gives you options to change almost every aspect of the panel’s size, shape, texture and position. There are four other tabs at the top of the panel window that open pages on Animation, Panel objects, Menu, and Miscellaneous. Most of the options that are activated by these buttons and sliders are self-explanatory and you can choose to try, accept or revert by clicking the appropriate button at the bottom of the panel window. However, you will not be able to access some parts of this caplet (e.g., the system part of the Menu page) unless you are logged in as root.
You can also access the above caplet from the desktop. Begin by right-clicking on the Gnome panel at the foot of the screen, choose Panel from the pop-up menu, and then select Global Preferences from the Panel submenu.
Desktop: Theme Selector
More than a dozen desktop themes are provided with GNOME, and you can preview or select any of them by using the Theme Selector caplet. Clicking the Try button will transform the desktop into the theme that you have highlighted in the Available Themes box. If you click on the Preview button to the right of this box, the theme will only be applied to the material on the Preview box below, as shown in this example. If the Auto Preview button is depressed, you do not need to click the Preview button. This caplet also gives you the facility to install new themes, an ever growing number of which are available on the net.

Defining the pro and cons of Linux as a computer operating system for yourself depends on any of a number of variables/
First of all ” What are you doing with your new computer ?” asks computer consultant D. Heppenstall.
People buy computers to run programs. If the programs that you or your business use are all in the windows operating system – then windows is your easiest choice. Why make things more complex than they need be. It may be false economy like the Schmendrick you saved $ 2 on the cost of an item yet spent over a tank of gas on driving between the various value village thrift stores. On top of that he believed he saved in addition as it was “senior’s day” and he received a 15 % added discount. Your additional costs in terms of tech support , lost productivity and aggravation are not worth the time and expenses involved. If you are in a certain field such as graphics and there is a major preference in your industry to the Apple Macintosh system then that may be your best choice. Software may be more expensive for Macs than windows yet you may have the licenses already – upgrades are cheap . As well you have expertise and experience with that system as well as troubleshooting basic problems.
People use computers to run programs. This includes the most used programs in the world – internet browsers and even mail programs such as outlook express. If this is all that you do with your computer – Linux may be fine for you - those programs are already installed in functional forms on a Linux computer with open source programs. Firefox on a linux will not be that much different than firefox on windows. There are lots of other open source browsing programs as well available. Just do not expect a direct version of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Linux – be it Ubuntu , Mandiva or any other of the major Linux distros.
Next take into account what kind of hardware that you be running Linux on ? That not only includes your computer itself – its motherboard , video sound card , network cards et al. Wireless especially on Lunux can be a bitch to configer if not native on your Linux distro of choice. Hardware that also has to be considered if you want to make the change to Linux ( some say upgrade) in addition are printers , modems and network cards, scanners and even monitors.
Linux driver support is getting much better with major vendors such as HP ( Hewlett Packard ) for printers and scanners routinely providing Linux drivers and support documents for Linux distros ( but not the older Windows 98/ME operating system streams). However take into account whether the available Linux hardware drivers support your particular Linux distro of choice.
In the end it is always best to make a copy ( ghost or clone backup) of your present hard drive or at the least swap hard drives with a replacement in order that you can restore your present operating system if necessary.

You can use the Sound caplet to set the sounds for a wide range of GNOME system events. First, click the Sound Events tab, then highlight an event to which you wish to attach the sound.The Select sound file dialog box opens. Choose a sound for the event that you have highlighted, click on the Browse button and navigate to the appropriate .wav file on your hard disk. You can preview this sound by clicking on the Play button in the Control Center window.
Desktop: Window Managers
You can add window managers by selecting that option in the Control Center, and clicking the Add button in the top-right corner. In the Add New Window Manager dialog box, enter the name, the commands and the paths required for launching the new window manager with its configuration tool. To switch Window Managers, select the required name from the list and click the Try button. An Information panel tells you that your current session needs to be saved, and how to do it, either now or later. You are now switched to the new window manager.
The User Interface
The User Interface (UI) options involve changing the look and feel of applications that are GNOME compliant. UI options include detachable toolbars and menu bars, and the look of borders, icons, and status bars. The UI caplet is really for advanced users. If you are unsure about any of the options offered here, don’t risk making an error that you might later regret.
File Manager Preferences
One way to access the preferences for the Gnome File Manager is to right-click on the desktop and choose Desktop Properties from this pop-up menu that appears on-screen. The Preferences dialog box opens. It comprises five tabs: File Display Confirmation, VFS (Virtual File System), Catching and Desktop. The Desktop settings determine the positioning and appearance of text and icons on the desktop.
Note: There are two further capplets that you need to know. First, the Session Manager Capplet. This caplet allows you to control the GNOME Session Management, which specifies the programs that start up, how you save your GNOME configuration and how you log out. Second, the GNOME Edit Properties Capplet- With this caplet, you can select which editor will be your default editor while using GNOME. This will allow application like the GNOME File Manager to launch the correct editor when you try to open files associated with editing. All the popular text editors are included in the selection list.

Here is a list of more additional Linux books e-books and resources for the novice and starting Linux user or users. Most are resources and e books that are “free of charge”. Linux users are usually pretty good ,fair and honest as well. You may run across some dead links that are in error, you may run across some errors where the misinterpretation is made as the links are “free downloads” and not free at the source or the terms of use may have changed. Free to use – does not necessarily mean free in the world of Linux , its that the user is sharing the information or mods to you freely not necessarily free of charge.
It can be said in life that there is no such thing as a “free lunch” , “you get what you pay for “ and “nothing is for nothing”. Yet in the world of Linux its often free of charge or fair “beggarware”. If you cannot get it for “free” there are usually tons of places on the internet where you can get it at least for less expense. Still its always fair , that if you feel that you got very new value to make a paypal donation.
Still here is the additional list for novice beginning Linux users to peruse:
