Ok, So I finally decided to go with Linux. I installed Kubuntu, which is basically ubuntu except with unbuntu is gnome, and the one I'm using is KDE. So everything is going fine, I installed it, I started running some commands and working with it. Now I decided to use a couple usb devices to see if it would work. Then I needed to connect to the internet.
But I put in my wireless card, and it wouldn't work. I tried configuring it, and nothing worked. So I decided to use wired, and yet still nothing. I try to configure, but i have to use the root account, problem is, that won't work either. Any Body use this same OS or have experience or idea of the problem? I looked it up, and none of the soulutions I found worked or they weren't about what my problem was. |

In the lower left corner of the screen, in the same location as the Windows Start menu, is a button with a gigantic K. Click on it. A menu pops up. Select System, then Networking.

But can you still explain to me where this networking option would be? Now I just need to get my wireless card to work. |

KDE Main (i.e. the big blue button with the K) > System (a submenu under the big blue button with a K) > Networking (a submenu of the System submenu). It's there. I checked on an Ubuntu system running KDE. //Edit: I don't know how Ubuntu is with wireless cards, but wireless on Linux is often very flaky and hard to set up properly. |
