Hi, My name's Ben and I live in Gilbert, AZ. I'm new to Linux and have installed Mandrake 8.2 in a dual boot setup with WinXP Pro onto a Compaq Evo n400c notebook. The install seems to have gone well, I've got networking, web access and email running well. I'm able to boot into KDE and get sounds, so the X Window environment and audio are working well. I'd like to get more things running under Linux now and also learn more about Linux. I'm looking to get a printer working over the network and share files between PCs over the network, I'd also like to share files that are on the Windows partition of the notebook. I'd appreciate your assistance in getting these things running and any other tid-bits of info that you could pass along. Thanks in advance.
