Tips for using Linux Part 2 of 2

Some tips and tricks to get you started using Mandriva Linux 2010 KDE version.

In this video I go over accessing your Windows drives from Linux, using Plasma Widget, setting a theme as well as setting up different wallpapers for each of your desktops.

If you don't have Mandriva installed check out my dual boot videos so you can get it up and running in no time.

Also stay tuned for videos on how to install software in Linux and install other Desktop enviroments, like Gnome(Ubuntu's default desktop).

@LinuxPhreak2600 to be honest... I prefer the old gnome before unity... kde is nice but too much like windows... gnome is a bit easier for older ppl like my parents to learn.

@RedSandStudios theres alot of reasons to use linux... the best reason if for this next reason - when windows doesn't boot... if you installed linux in dual boot mode, then you can use linux to google a solution and fix your problem THROUGH linux... linux is also QUITE alot better with multimedia than windows.. exception being gaming.

This video makes me want to use Linux but I really can't think of a reason why I would use it over Windows 7 in most cases.

Thats some things I always loved about KDE. With Gnome my prefered DE you can't change the wallpaper for each individual workspace. As far back as I remember KDE had that capability. Another cool thing about KDE is the way you can control how your passwords are displayed. I always choose the option to make the password show nothing when typed, instead of dots. With Gnome you can't do this. However I hate the way KDE looks and feels.
