Well... I tried posting this thread a while earlier, but the session died on me (thanks, Windows), so...
A very long, inconvenient story short, I landed myself with a new motherboard and a need for a new OS. Not having ANY copies of Windows to hand (and not wanting to bother pirating one), I decided I'd switch to Ubuntu.
Well, that's done. Hey, I even managed to figure out how to get my lovely Tahoma font back! As lovely as Ubuntu may be, I don't like the way Mac looks... And they smack of the same design.
However, the window-dressing is of little import, all in all - it's function that matters foremost, not form.
Buuuut... Well, the reason I didn't get onto the Linux-wagon years ago was lack of knowledge and expenditure of the effort to obtain that knowledge. On a whim, I hopped onto the wagon just now... But without the foreknowledge that tells me just where I can grab onto to not be thrown to my death.
I have a whole heaping pile of files, programs, and other such nonsense on secondary drives, formatted and put together in Windows... That I'd hoped I could take with me. The programs, I'm sure, will take some doing... The files? I don't even know where to start.
I'm lost in my own OS, without a clue how to make NWN go. I know it goes on Ubuntu - I've heard as much from the lovely folk here. However, I don't have any idea how to make that work for me.
Is there anyone who can shine a light and lead me from this darkness I call the Learning Curve?
