Q. I am using Ubuntu Linux version 6.06 Dapper Drake and I have a Linksys type WIFI card. I have drivers for Redhat linux and Windows but I still cannot get it to work with Ubuntu. I have spent enough hours on this and I finally decided to ask here. Ideas?
A. I use Linksys WMP54GS cards on my Ubuntu boxes - and have to use ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. I never found a native driver for the card that worked in Ubuntu.
I am new to Ubuntu Linux where should I start?
Q. I installed an old copy of ubuntu linux 6 and I am fairly new to it. I would like to know where to find programs for ubuntu, how to install them, how to troubleshoot some minor problems (such as getting the Internet to work) etc. Is there a good website for this sort of stuff?
A. Ubuntu 6.10 is no longer supported. You can get it up and running with a little extra work but why make it hard for yourself.
Take a look at Linux Mint 5 (Main Edition) its easy to install easy to use and has much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.

Linux Mint 5 installation tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-5-elyssa-r1
You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 5 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 5 can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
An alternative release of Ubuntu worth looking at is 8.04.2 http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ The installation tutorial I have supplied above also applies to Ubuntu 8.04.2
There is a wealth of help and documentation from the Ubuntu Community and much of it applies to Linux Mint as well https://help.ubuntu.com/community
Coming soon is the AWESOME Ubuntu 9.04 which I am currently testing.
NOTE : Avoid Ubuntu 8.10 as it is utterly dreadful and this will be made abundantly clear upon the release of Ubuntu 9.04

How do I get Ubuntu Linux to detect a windstream modem?
Q. I am hooking up my brothers new computer which has Ubuntu Linux and I need to know how to get it to detect his windstream modem.
A. I suspect that your modem doesn't have any driver for linux. THe Windstream website apparently only has windows drivers, and a search on the linux compatibility list turns up nothing. See the links below.
