OK, I finally made the jump to Linux! I partitioned my PC so I have Windows XP and Kubuntu Linux.
Here's the thing: I obviously need to get going on installing drivers and such so my OS will be at its peak. It present, I am stuck with going back and forth between Linux and Windows to share files - a real pain - only to discover I have no idea how to install under Linux! So where should I go? Google, of course! But I can't get online. Konqueror returns 404 errors, and I don't know how to activate my WiFi connection. I've managed to stump a few guys on this. Can you tell me how to set up a wireless connection? I never got anywhere, I'm at square 1.
