Hi people am Gautam, a new user of linux.Am Using Ubuntu 7.10 and have
trouble connecting to the internet. Am having trouble with Ubuntu's network
configuration which it doesn't accept configuration as convinently as
window. I have tried other flaovurs such as Kubuntu, fedora 9and so on but
every flavour gives me the same trouble. Secondly a hard disk which is
capable to work on both the system is something very convinent incase i
wanna use it as an external hard disk, now Ubuntu doesn't recognise it while
Fedora 9 does and am able to use it. Am told Ubuntu is good for bigenners
but when i type su in the terminal and type my password it doesn't
authenticate it. There was no prompt for root password during setup.
Confused and agonised. please help.

Regards

Gautam


In Ubuntu, we use sudo instead of su. There is some good information
about at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

What kind of trouble are you having with the network configuration? Are
you using a wired or wireless setup?

Someone else will help with the hard disk, since I don't know much
about it. They may help with the network, too, if you give the much
needed information to help out.

Good luck,
