The First Post for this blog

Hello, I read a tutorial somewhere that said you should write down what you do in linux so that others can learn from it and you give back to the community. I agree with this in part, I’m one of those people that will accept and use command line if I have to but I would prefer not to. I find that with point and click you can look at the screen and maybe figure out what to do without excessive amounts of googling. With command line it is almost impossible because when I want to do something I have :~& staring at me. (As I sit here and type using Iceweasel on fluxbox.)

So I decided to start posting whatever I found for primarily two reasons. One, it provides me with a space to see what I did last time in case I have to reinstall or set up a new system. Two, someone else might have the same problem I’m having and if, by some remote possibility this page makes it on to google they too can find the result that I found. As of this date I think I’ve only found two fixes completely by myself everything else is a combination of things I’ve learned. As for the theme after looking at hundreds of pages the most useful ones seem to have white text on a black background.
