Ive just moved onto Linux from Obuntu, i wondered if there were any other Obuntu users out there or any old Linux hands that fancied a general chat to help a newbie (me) get to grips with it better and answer a few simple questions. I'm trying to customise it as much as i can like windows until i get to grips with Obuntu, I have Vista also installed and want to be able to access files etc from either platform.

ANy takers on the help, advice and chat bit?
John

Obuntu?

Do you mean Ubuntu or is there some new version I'm not aware of?

Well, for the file accessing, does Vista use NTFS? I'm guessing it does, and Linux didn't used to cope with NTFS too well. Apparently it now copes fine though, so I guess you just need the right packages installed.

On the flip side of things, I think there are Windows programs out there that enable you to read the Linux partition.

Yes i did a clean install of Vista, and then installed Ubuntu 7.10, did various updates on both and then installed WINE which has given me some access to Windows files, but i am struggling the other way round
