Q. I just recently moved from windows xp to LInux and I would like to know how to fix dual boot problems. I learned a few things about the command line but I want to learn a lot more. I also need to know how to download and upgrade software like Adobe flash player and other programs. In other words I need a really good book or magazine that will help me get started. I would of course prefer something simple and fast.
A. Linux Journal
http://www.linuxjournal.com/
is the original Linux Magazine. Well, not the original but the oldest still running and widely regarded as the most authoritative.
Linux Format is the most expensive, about $15 here in New Hampshire. Nevertheless it almost always comes with an install or live CD or DVD and the articles are always of excellent quality. I strongly recommend picking up as many issues as you can afford:

Anything from O'Reilly Press is also well worth the money.
http://oreilly.com/linux/
Also there are forums, like th Ubuntu Forums (go to Ubuntu.com and look for them on the bar on the left) or the forums at http://www.linuxquestions.org ). There are also the Usenet groups which remain lively years after most have become moribund. comp.os.linux heirarchy is subscribable to via google groups. Oh, and many of the developers contribute to the last. Some of them contribute to Ubuntu forums too but Ubuntu assembles their OS out of packages from many sources so very few people work for them and those that don't you are more likely to run into on Usenet.

What's the best linux distro for a computer without an internet connection?
Q. Considering only this as a criterion, what's the best linux distribution that comes to mind?
Thanks
Thanks
A. A distro that comes on a DVD, not a CD (you get more packages that way) and one that has compiled packages, not some thing that you have to build each package from scratch.
Linux Format and Linux Magazine (out of the UK, not the US mag by the same name) both provide DVDs that mean that criteria.
You can get Ubuntu, Mandriva, Suse, and other such distros like that. Just avoid multi-distro DVDs which have smaller, less complete versions since you won't be able to get online to add or upgrade packages.

Looking for a software to use to create pictures you see on Magazines?
Q. You even look through like game magazines and they have these fresh Graphics, what software they using??
Or better yet, say I want to design a serious art work design for my ebook, what software to use, that can help me design a professional looking graphic

A. Ok, most software they use is expensive, like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and 3d Studio Max.
I like the GIMP. It is free, easy to master and works very much like photoshop, and runs on every major OS - Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, Unix etc. Plus you can always save into any other format you wish. Great to learn on if you are serious about graphics because the skills you learn will very easily transfer to the big commercial packages.
