Networking Ubuntu 11.10 with Windows 7

[Theophylact]

Terminal does seem more reliable -- but you do need to know your Linux commands. And I'm still pretty much a noob; although I've had installations of everything from Mandrake and SuSe on up, I've never had one that worked well enough for me to learn Linux properly.

Same with me, even though Linux commands, are much more usable than DOS, they are still command line.

I had a phase when I was going to learn it, but have forgotten most of it,along with DOS.

I've been using Ubuntu, in this Toshiba for a couple of months now, and I really can't complane.
I have thought for the last couple years that Ubuntu was ready for the masses, finally.

I want to try Mint, as it is the rising star, at the moment.

I remember when Mandrake was the rising star.
