Please help, I’m new to computers. I’m wondering what will happen if I install my hard drive in my laptop.

What screen is going to show up? Will I have to re-install my operating system also?

I have a window network currently in my home, wired and WiFi
I have A linksys gateway after my cable modem. I have several computers using XP Pro; XP home; Win2kPro and Win98. I desire to introduce a Linux system that can interact with the entire network. I can get the internet at current with a Linux system but i can not ‘see’ the other computers. I don’t use the Domain on the home network with windows, but Linux seems to require it. Assistance for this Linux Newbie would be humbly accepted.
Maybe i didn’t explain. You have to enter Domain name and workgroup name. I don’t enter anything on the windows screen for domain name where i do enter a name for the workgroup. In other words i use the blank default with Win2k and XPPro, but on XP Home and 98SE that screen only shows Workgroup name.
I need to know what to put as the Domain for Linux to allow it to interface with my Windows Local Lan.

This is nothing to do with ease of use, nor with IP Domain Name, I am speaking here of the Local Area Net (LAN), not Wide Area Net (WAN).

That includes command lines etc… I looked at a few books but they seemed almost too basic… (how to start your computer)

I also looked at Linux in a nutshell but the reviews seemed to point toward it being more for an advanced user….
OPinion???
I have installed ubuntu, and got on the net and stuff but thats about it…ive downloaded stuff and cant get anything to install .. So i need a book…lol

I’ve talked to someone who used lulu.com and they said it was difficult even for them (they’re very technical). I’ve had several suggestions on other sites, but they seem to specialize in serial stories, not panel cartoons.

I’ve been looking at Drunkduck.com which is fairly new, but their information makes it sound as if ALL posted art is their property once it gets posted to their site, not sole property of the artist who created it. I’ve been waiting to get an answer back on that before uploading anything over there.

I’ve got panel cartoons (such as the ones in the weekday comic strips–horizontal with 3 or 4 panels per strip). I’ve been looking for a site to host them that doesn’t have difficulty working with my home computer system.

Anyone using any that they’re very happy with? Any suggestions? My stuff’s in black and white, no color.

The player will not recognize WMA Lossless so I need to convert all my music from that format to either Flac(preferred) or MP3s. Would you please recommend an easy to use converter, shareware, freeware or pay, that can bath convert my files please?

Please dont laugh at the old keyboard or my lack of knowledge! (Thanks). When connected to computer can it expand the choices and manipulation of sounds played (live not recorded)? The wikipedia answer is even a bit complicated. I dont want to spend a fortune but what needed cables, sound card and a program? Thank you.

I have a local server that I’ve blocked via the router and a couple of patches, yet it is still being accessed from the internet by someone maliciously. Are there any proven ways to secure this computer? It is running XP Pro.
This is a fresh installation of XP Pro with no add-ons. Can XP be secured?
