As Lyz suggested I would recommend trying to contact some of your LoCo team members are they are going to be close to you and able to assist in-person if needed. It appears you had some questions about how much ram your computer had and this should be easy to find. I have included to screen shots that should help you. In the upper right hand corner click the 'power' icon and select about this computer <IMG SRC="cid:1384553101.2158.8.camel@tardis-t530" ALIGN="bottom" BORDER="0"> You should then see a dialog box like the one below. The yellow hi-lighted area is your memory. <IMG SRC="cid:1384553152.2158.10.camel@tardis-t530" ALIGN="bottom" BORDER="0"> On Fri, 2013-11-15 at 09:58 -0700, nydia Ballesteros wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> Hello my name is Nydia i'm a 36yr old women living in Arizona. I have just started using Ubuntu and i love it but i don't know alot about it or how to use it. My knowledge of computers is very basic to no real knowledge(1994). In the last months i got a computer from my husbands work and a tower from my sister that she was going to throw away, and with offline reading and some internet from my daughters school, i but the two together myself to get them to work. I had never had a computer before or any of todays technology including cell phone,but now i have become so drawn to it, i need to know more. Ubuntu is what i heard about on youtube so i bought just the cd brand new without the book from someone online.with all this being said really i know NOTHING! I hope to start online classes in Jan.(just finished FAFSA)for computers and also hope to start working from home doing customer service. I don't know if i can use Ubuntu to take my online classes and i don't know what classes to take because there are different categorizes,but i want to know everything. Working from home i dont know if i can, reading their website Ubuntu was not a program listed and when i spoke to someone about it she didnt what Ubuntu was and has refferred me to someone else.So i don't know all of this, on top of that i don't know if i have enough memory,enough ram(my tower its kinda scary the side doesnt fit well so somethimes wires are exposed, panel was bent and would go back on right, i have to stick my finger in the tower a bit to turn it on). I have so many questions.Sorry if i sound crazy, i don't even know if you can help me answer these questions. I'm sure its education on Ubuntu only which would be fine,i want to know the very least the basic of Ubuntu but perheps you could refer me somewhere to find it out.PLEASE HELP!!!!! </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> Thank you, </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> Nydia </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
