I installed Linux Ubuntu 10.4 about two weeks ago.
Firs impressions was very positive. I have some experience with Linux in the past. But it did not meter for now :). I was not able to do any thing except invoke some pre installed application, especially game.
I had some success after two days with help of my friend KirGiz. I have got pretty good speed of system loading, have installed midnight commander :), arena 3 and even new version of JDK and Eclipe Europa (Thanks to Stas also). It was greate. Also I have installed my ATI video card and XGL engine. I did not gain success with "cube desktop" but other nice visual effects was presented. By the the time I bored with all those beauty and even thought that Ubuntu was not good place for me. But.
I returned to research my laptop's Linux couple of days ago. It was related to recent c++ programming under the DOS in Borland c++ 3. When only keyboard was used. First af all I switched off my Gnome XConsole (with rcconf) and find myself in Linux command line interface. After couple of hours I find real beauty and real satisfaction. It was so suddenly that I am fall in love with this OS. I even used lynx. It was very strange experience but cool also. Only command prompt and you. Without any visual unusuall most of time widgets. Only couple of terminals. It is inconvenient for first time but regular operation will be very fast in due course.
There are much programms for console mode, for example audio player. I hope I will find some Java IDE for terminal.
Some usefull commands:
- gedit // Text Editor (GUI)
- dav // Text Editor (console)
- lynx // Web Browser (console) G - addres; O - config; Q - quit; / - page source; [Del] - list of visited addresses.
- rcconf // boot options
- touch Par1 //creates empty file with name as Par1. e.g. /fastboot or /forcefsck
Some interesting locations:
- /etc/fstab
