The first thing to adjust to is the package manager. While there are programs that install like an .exe file in Windows (Mandriva uses .rpm files), mostly you install via the package manager, which draws from an online list.
I wish the others on the podcast used it, because then they could use the recording method I use and never screw up or lose a recording.

No, that's reserved for Windows OS.

Every decade or so I install linux. The time has come again. This time I am trying the Mint distro.
If anyone wants some tips, this has been my insomnia project fo rthe last week and I finally go it all working. It is incredible how much better than Windows this is. So much faster.
I tried it a few years ago when I replaced my hard drive, but it didn't get along with my laptop's touchpad.

Okay, So Windows is increasingly becoming malware. I use Linum Mint on my laptop, I am now going to look into how to play my steam, itch and amazon games library on linux (or at least how practical it is). I lost most of my internet cap by Windows automatically updating and for that benefit my PC now restarts randomly -- when I can even get it to start, as 3 out of 4 times it blue screens on boot.

Anyway, it booted easily, and I was able to connect to my wireless router quickly. I'm typing this post from Mandriva via Firefox 3.0.8 (which is also on the disk along with a bunch of other useful programs). This OS seems very streamlined when compared to Vista, and is easy to navigate. I tried to access my mp3 files from my HDD, but I wasn't allowed; not mounted or something. Oh, well. Seems like a very nice OS, so far.
