Q. I am looking to play around with Linux and I am wonder which one of the portable Linuxes would be the best for someone who is used to Windows.
A. Hii,
You can Use MANDRIVA, it has the almost same features like windows, I mean myself and many of my friend are using it, and we had find it better over other flavours of linux. Like for Instance.. following are the main features, that we have find Mandriva Linux working as Windows :
(i) No need to download additional packages or plugins to play any audio or video files. As you require in other flavours. for instance in fedora and Ubuntu
(ii) If you want to connect your computer with WIFI, internet, then many a times it has seen that Linux flavors create lots of flavours, as required drivers are not shipped with pakages, you need to download from respective linux forums. No such problem arises with Mandriva, it supports all the drivers to connect with internet, broadcom, WIFI, everything.
(iii) Its packages provide web-cam software as well, where you can even click funny photographs with the software.
(iv) INSTALLATION : easy to install, if compared with other Linux flavours, exception : Ubuntu
(v) Desktop features ,GUI, Terminal are very friendly, and can be easily understood by normal users.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE : If you are looking for powerful desktop features, more animations, more powerful animations and appearance than Windows Vista. Namely you want to concentrate more on looks, graphics and animation feature, go for UBUNTU, provided that you are not looking for more features.

What's the difference between the cd and dvd versions of Knoppix?
Q. I want to use Knoppix, just to play around with linux a little. But I noticed there are two versions of it. CD and DVD. Obviously the DVD version is much, much, larger. Besides the obvious size difference, what separates the CD version from the DVD on.
A. the dvd version has more software,
knoppix is not really a good idea if you want to 'mess' with linux, you can access your normal system and delete thing that will make it useless,
best idea is install virtualbox
http://www.virtualbox.org/
then download and install one of the free distro's in a virtual machine, then you can 'mess' till you brake it, without breaking your host (normal) system

How to find what video file format a file is apart from the extension of the file itself?
Q. For example, I have an avi file....It plays in linux using SMPlayer front end...but the video does not play on Windows (VLC player)....the audio is heard though.
When you play the file in VLC Player, and press CTRL-I, it will show up the information and it will also show the encoding of the video file, for example: XVID, etc

A. I have been wondering about this myself, and have had very little luck finding a simple answer, if any at all. I myself have .avi files that when changed to the .mpeg extension somehow still play properly, yet cannot be burned using Nero, etc. as either one.
