You guys wont believe this, but i re-installed....and I deleted the partitions and created them back etc. and I installed the same way. I didn't do anything differently while "configuring" the linux system...and well it just booted straight into the desktop evironment after. I didn't even have to type startx!! That is so funny...lol one momemt it works...and the other? well I should keep my fingers crossed!
But thanks for everything. Could you guys direct me to some resources to start using this thing? Like some commands...lol or something to make me realise what I really have before me...and what I could do with it. I am a advanced windows user and i realised that linux is totally different. So any advice/help would be appreciated.

Great, glad you got it working.


Here are some links I use.

For the most part I google my way through...

I use mine more as server testing so I don't do much gui stuff.

Have fun with it!

thanks alot for the pages...I hope I could fool around with it...do some reading...and hopefully reach somewhere...I have some time to play with...so maybe by next year i'd be a advanced linux user

just edit /etc/inittab
there u can see a line starting #default runelevel
the line will be like this
id:2:initdefault:
so chane that 2 to 5
id:5:initdefault:

then save and reboot .. u will get default graphical boot.
u dont need to use "startx " command each time

thanks alot
