Re: [LUG] migrating to Linux

[CHRISTOPHER BERRY <christopher.berry1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd agree! Being something of a Linux ignoramus I have found the monthly LXF Linux Format magazine the easiest to follow! Some mags are written in a foreign tongue at my level of knowledge!!
I have just installed Kubuntu 7.10 and have been greatly impressed - a prob with the apt-get manager now resolved, BUT what do I do about libdvdcss? Go without!?
Have a good day,
