finally got openSUSE running on my laptop, i wanted to see what linux was like etc, and open suse was the best choice for me. Now i’m confused as hell though

so far i have the basic pre-installed features (firefox etc) i went with the KDE gui. anyway

i just wanted to know if there were any basic guides and i really mean basic, i don’t even know how to install new things on here. i mean, .package? yeah thats how much of a linux noob i am.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

I am using Ubuntu dapper, and wanna use a virtual machine to run windovs XP, without having to reboot!! so plz suggest d best choice, and plz give reasons!!!

I have a Centos server setup at home and use dyndns.org through my Linksys wrt-54gl to access my server through tunneling VNC over SSH when I’m away from home. From my server desktop screen I do a command rdesktop (internal IP of computers) to get to my PC, Mac, etc and view their screens. Then I copy files to and from the server using its samba shares internally then I SSH files to and from my server using SSH file transfer wherever I’m at. The problem is my Mac Pro is connected through wlan and after a few hours it drops connection and the only way to wake it is to open safari from the Mac Pro at home. I have set the power saving features to tell it to never go to sleep but only sleep the monitor after 15 min. So my options are: find a utility that keeps the Wlan active, write a script file that keeps it active, run a cable from my wireless router to the Mac Pro (not what I want to do) or find a program to send a Wake On Lan packet to the Mac Pro card (I enabled that feature in settings already. The problem is I don’t know of any utilities and I have never used Wake On Lan. Wake On Lan is probably the best choice if it worked. I could run a Linux only or a windows program under wine to do that. if I knew the port I could forward the Mac port for Wake On Lan out from my router then send it a Wake On Lan packet from a website since I know there are websites like that but I’d rather not expose the max externally and I really would like to wake it internally is possible.
Yea I’m There with you Jeffrey, Im a network systems administrator for a small private college and i have my lan at home with various features just haven’t had much time to research a fix and wanted to get some suggestions. thanks
