Ubuntu Setup Help?

Question

Hallo!

I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu vers 7 (I burned it and created a live CD for now). I have used linux before in my high school computer repair class, but not ubuntu and we didn't go into depth.

I am just playing around learning it, but a hinderence is the fact that the internet won't work.

My parents have a wirelss router setup, and im trying to connect to that, (it is encrypted).

I have a windows xp media center, 1gig ddr ram, ati mobility radeon x600 256MB graphics card, AMD 64 mobile Athelon processor Gateway Notebook.

Any help? Also, could someone please elaborate on ubuntus versio of the CLI? can't remember what it's called right now, srry.

Thanks! if i get more info, ill let u know

oh yea! the CLI like thing is SUDO, ha!

Answer 1

you should have no problems connecting to the wireless router, even from the cd, there is some thing you need to do in the network setup, which only takes a couple of minutes to do, then you will be on the net

I am not at home at the moment, I will be returning home on Friday, if by then you have not sorted out this problem, contact me and I will walk you through it, I will also show you where to get all the Ubuntu E- Book tutorials from, put me down as a contact. so that I can assist you later,,,,
