New member, and some system specs for future reference
Hello
I'm an untutored, laptop Linux user; I (try to) run SuSe 9.3 and
will explain in other fora some of my current questions/problems which I seek advice in solving. I don't know how to program and have only basic user's knowledge of my system. I understand the directory system and most basic linux command-line commands, but not all. My system has a GUI interface, of course; but there are still a number of problems using it to fix my current difficulties.
I'm especially interested in anyone's help who has either the same kind of laptop as mine or the same Linux distribution, or, ideally, both of them!
This is to introduce details about the computer to which my
future posts refer.
the system is
make/model a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop

the above certainly won't answer all potential questions which a correspondent here might have about my system's features but this is a start intended to provide a view of what the laptop has now.
For a description the technical problems I'm looking for help with, please see the hardware and networking fora.
And THANKS ! in advance.
