Moving to a new website

Upon some suggestions from someone in the Ubuntu forums, I am moving the website to

wheatlandlinux.wordpress.com

I have found Wordpress to be a much better blog than blogger. And I do not know why this is underlined either, I must have pressed the wrong button. Blogger sucks!!! It made my web browser freeze!

Those who want to join the Linux users group

NOW HEAR THIS:

If you would like to join my Linux users group, just leave a comment with your first and last name and e-mail address after this post. I will do everything in my power to help you convert from Windows or Mac OS X to Linux. To install commonly used programs like Adobe Flash Player or Java, look for the instructions near the bottom of the website. That is all for now.

Sin Cere,

The best version of Linux.

As far as I can tell the best version of Linux to use is Ubuntu 7.10. Most hardware appears to work, except for a few wireless NIC's and a few printers. A few things do not run on Linux, but most things do. There is also most likely some sort of Linux equivalent anyway, so you should have few problems. You have OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office, Totem-xine instead of Windows Media Player, Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, gnomebaker or K3B instead of disc burning software from Nero.
Installation is easy on a desktop computer, but a little harder on laptops. As I mentioned, some wireless NIC's do not run on Linux, especially those from Broadcom. That is why I bought an NIC from Intel, the 2915ABG, and that instantly worked. That is all for now.
