Post Installation Configuration for Beginners
Courtesy: qoodos  
This brief article will provide some encouragement for those with hardware concerns and needing a very basic overview of how and where to find their flavor’s configuration tools.

Most HOWTOs seem to assume that after installation all works well and that you no longer need help configuring anything! Well, sometimes it just isn’t so. Yet, we will be the first to admit that to-day’s flavors do install very smoothly for the most part.

However, when they do not, the solutions are usually a few clicks away using your configuration tools.

The goal of this article is to guide you to your tools so that you are empowered to make configuration changes whenever you need.

We use Fedora, Mandrake (Mandriva), and SuSe as examples below. Hopefully some of these examples will help to guide you to the necessary tools. Please note that there are a LOT OF IMAGES in this article that may be slow for those using dial-up. Sorry, but hopefully the images help clarify the steps far better!

Special Note
In 1991, Linus Torvalds began to work on the Linux kernel while he was attending the University of Helsinki. Torvalds originally created the Linux kernel as a non-commercial replacement for the Minix kernel; he later changed his original non-free license to the GPLv2, which differed primarily in that it also allowed for commercial redistribution. Linux filled the last major gap in running a complete, fully functional free operating system.
