    Re: Simple request

    First, welcome to Linux and to the Kubuntu Forums. Second, as to "why i should use linux" well, that's reasonably simple - because you have more control (freedom) than you will ever get using Windoze. But it still comes down to choice - what OS are you comfortable with. Linux has a learning curve that is steeper than Windoze, especially if the user is not very computer literate.

      Indeed, but the feeling you get after getting something to work properly is just awesome.

      For me it was getting codecs set up properly 2 years ago. I felt good, like on ecstasy.

          Google is your friend. Just two example sites from Google:
          Linux Online - Linux Courses
          LinuxCommand.org
