> i want to shift from windows to linux > will anybody send me the links to learn basic linux operating > welcome to the Free world Amey. Being open source, people have the freedom to do whatever they want with linux, hence linux comes in various falours (or distributions), each has its own pros and cons and peculiarities. Mandriva (formerly Mandrake), Suse and Ubuntu are some of the distributions that are popular and also normally considered more user friendly. One you get a CD of one of these, u can easily search about more info on google or the websites of any of these distributions, and follow the installation steps etc accordingly. Linux Newbie FAQ .. (this is a bit outdated... so it has references to some old versions, and techniques) http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/linfaq.html some parallels ... file manager.. desktop .. http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/windowstolinux.shtml for very detailed technical help on specific subjects (howto setup a modem in linux? etc) http://www.tldp.org/ If you get stuck, you can always post for help into any of the linux forums... (like this one) Cheers, Vivek

No dude, there's no point in _opening_ /dev directory. You'll have to press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login with your userid and password on the console, issue dpkg-reconfigure, and restart GDM. But even from GDM you could login and navigate through keyboard and issue dpkg-reconfigure. Anurag Thanks dude I will try this and let u knw Adios Abhi
