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
Today Linux is used in numerous domains, from embedded systems to supercomputers, and has secured a place in server installations with the popular LAMP application stack. Torvalds continues to direct the development of the kernel. Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation, which in turn develops the GNU components. Finally, individuals and corporations develop third-party non-GNU components.
