I'm a newbe to linux and once very addicted to the Windows OS since
20 years... I tried to make my initiation in Linux and searched deeply
for an acceptable user-friendly option (download live cds of Linux mmint9,
Open Suse, Debian Educational KDE 4.0 and did not felt very convinced:
mounting my hd partitions was a metaphisical pitfall. Gave up and then,
a friend referred PC OS 10.xx ubuntu-beOS mongrel but very friendly he
said. Downloaded the huge iso live-CD. Booted up and everything went
smoothly or so it seemed until a box asked me for my username which i
introduced and following asked for my password (i found it stupid since I
was running the distro from the previously burned in my cdrom but i complied and attributed one of my usual passwords + Enter; but it kept
repeating the same demands, repeating ad nauseam until i got so frustrated that entered the shutdown command witjhout even having had
the opportunity to peer over the first desktop window. That was such a stupid scene that i decided to ask for help -- not in the pc os site because their demands in the registration protocol were so outraging invasive of my privacy that i had to repeat what is turning to my average
attitude toward this weird world of LinuxOS...
Would someone have the patience to clarify the above described events?
Thanking for the possible attention,
