This is where i get confused. Am i going to have to "install" a bunch of pieces parts? I get recommended to ubuntu, then i gotta use this, that, and the other thing plus i have to install this other thing. WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF!!! LOL
From I'm getting, i'm installing the OS and thats it. No interface, no software, nothing. Right? Wrong? Thats where i'm lost. I understand it all, but not sure what in tarnation to do. Like Samba, XFCE, etc etc etc.
Like I said, I'm a TOTAL noob. I have seen maybe 2-3 screenshots of Linux and thats about it. I dont know commands, i dont know how to switch from command line to GUI, etc etc. I've searched everything i can possible search and I can't find anything. All i get is information on distro's, what they do, the stinking history of it and then all of the other applications you have to use just to start it up. I dont find anything on how to actually USE the system. I see tons on how to install, configure (sorta), etc, but not how to move around or use it. Now i'm lost. lol... thanks for the help though... i really appreciate it.
