Linux Anybody

No worries mate
at the end of the file name you are trying to open will be a dot something or other
for instance, as in an image it would be .gif or .jpg
whatever follows the . on your file,
enter those letters into the search function on that website and it will return all the info you need.
Hope this helps Bud.

Q for you........Am i right in thinking i could partition a hard drive and give myself a Dual boot option, i was thinking of partitioning a new computer i am Building and was thinking of being able to dual boot Linux and Windows 7

Ya your bang on i have it triple booting with xp, windows 7, ubuntu

I usally set up my windows XP then windows 7 then i partition off the space for ubuntu 100gb don't format and when in ubuntu install format the 100gb and install onto that, there are a few more things to do before you start

If your thinking about doing it give me a shout and i'll explain the swap partition and how to view your windows hard drive in ubuntu and so on
