Linux Magic Box 12 Pro

[TropX]

I've bought a computer that uses that operating system (Linux Magic Box 12 Pro), but still didn't receive it. What i want to know, is some information about it. I've searched on Google, and on the Linux official page, but nothing.
Does anyone knows something about it, or a link to a page?
Thank you!

Have you used linux before?

 

[TropX]

No. But i like Linux, and gonna install on another computer that i have (maybe Ubuntu, or others)

 

[massahwahl]

never used it but you like it eh?

You would be very well served installing ubuntu like you mentioned on another pc and learning all your commands. Theres A LOT to learn before you just jump in, it is not like Windows at all.

I've heard of nearly every Linux that exists and I've NEVER heard of that... where did you get it from?

Forget it, i already found it.
First of all, i think it's only in Portugal, and is called Caixa Mágica, ( live in Portugal, but i'm from Romenia).
Let me explain better. It's a Portuguese distribution, based on Mendriva. I couldn't find it because i was looking in English and thought that i needed to translate the name (silly me).
Sorry, but thanks for all the answers!

By the way, my computer will take a while to get to me, so i have allot of time to install Ubuntu (I know how to), and get used to it. Also, i'm not sure which Linux should i install, maybe Mendriva, because it's based on it. I was thinking of Ubuntu, but i'm not sure.

And just one more thing, I started to learn programming language, like Python, so could someone could help me get started, because i already have a site, that i'm learning from but could someone tell me some forums or pages about programming language. But i already know some stuff, like variables, and... well very little.

You can look at this page, but you wan't understand anything: http://www.caixamagica.pt


Unless you use the Google translator, or learn Portuguese(or Brazilian or Spanish, they're very close)

Yep sorry My foreign language skills are subpar.

OK then, it seems to be all over the place with the Portuguese name so I'd say it's fine, but for a beginner I'd really recommend Ubuntu (or if the specs are good enough and you want something pretty looking get Kubuntu.) Mandriva is kinda tricky computer to Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
