I just installed ubuntu linux, I'm liking it already and I've only had it up for about 10 minutes. anyone have any good links to sites on how to use it, the basics basically?

Good link on how to configure some settings and good Windoze replacement programs.

And if your machine has the horsepower, play Alien Arena.

it doesn't really have much power, its ancient, 1.1ghz celeron, 512 megs of ram and 80 gigs of hd over 3 drives, it was a freebie, I've been running it for about 4 years now. I'm dualbooting linux with windows 2k right now, I installed it and I am up and running with pretty much every feature that windows had and the only thing i had to install was the adblock add-on for firefox. only downside is I have to keep the dualboot and keep windows on here for now because noone else wants to use linux in my house because they have no clue how. linux seems to process info faster than windows does but the graphics seem to lag a little. I like it though, the interface is "weird" to me but seems vaguely similar to the newer mac os operating systems I've used before. thanks for the links.
