Install a dual-boot? Force Linux to make users log on? Implement minimal security in Linux to control access to certain folders? Create and manage multiple users on your Linux box?
For example, I may still need to boot back to Windows several more times before I can finally wipe it out of existence; I want to be compelled to enter a user id and pwd when Linux starts; I want to have 3 or 4 different users so I can let house guests use the machine, but without giving them access to my own folders and files;
Do you have a favorite site that you recall was the most help to you when you were first getting started and taking control of your Linux machine? I'm using Mint to get to know my way around, but I'd like to know about things that might be common to any distro, not necessarily specific to just Mint. I've already downloaded 3 or 4 pdf books on the basics, but that seems like the slow boat to Linux Heaven. {)
Am I even asking the right questions?
I can start with the link Qqmike posted from my other thread....
