You've gotta laugh at yourself sometimes.
I remember when skype were celabrating having 200,000 uses on line at the same time now it's 60 odd million.
I started easing off using it when ebay bought it and my registration lapsed so when an old friend who wrote a bespoke office app for me in the 90's asked to talk again on skype I had to reregister.
He lives/works in the windows world but he's been getting into html5 so I want to see what he's been upto.

Hello!
Nice that it's open source AND encrypted, too.
The encryption will keep out virtually everyone else, but if they want to, the NSA WILL hear you - no matter WHAT you do. They snoop on every American's email, your web activity, and all your phone calls. (Not paranoid. Just perceptive.)
I would imagine that super-strong encryption sends up a 'red flag' to them. They'll just devote more of the cryptanalytic power of a huge building filled with Cray supercomputers your way...

I don't skype with my family anymore. I told them to install JITSI if they wanted to talk with me online.

They have Mac and Windows packages so it was not hard to convert them.

I highly recommend these two free magazines. You can definitely learn a lot from these

Hello!
Welcome to Linux Lite. In addition to books, you should be able to find some excellent online resources to help you learn more about Linux. Besides, by the time a book gets published, it's most likely out of date anyway...

Hi Patrick,
Great work! I just wanted to point out that while reading, the 2nd edition is based on Ubuntu 7.04 and Linux Lite 2.2 is based on Ubuntu 14.04. For reference, the 9th edition of the book is based on Ubuntu 14.04. There's nothing wrong with using an older book but keep in mind information in certain sections probably won't match very well.

thanks everyone, the help manual has been taken through.
i just got myself ubuntu unleashed, second edition for ubuntu 7.02.
since i don't have any knowledge of linux, i thought this might be a good start, since linux lite is based on ubuntu.
i'll be guessing to go back to the roots i'll find myself understanding more about linux lite aswell.
greetings,
patrick

Greetings patrick!,
You sound like me in about 2006 when a friend introduced me to Ubuntu. I never looked back. It takes some getting used to after Windoze but well worth it. Blessings to you, Don

hi,
i just downloaded linux lite 2.2, this is the first time i'm trying linux. i'm quite excited to learn how it works, tommorow i will fetch myself a newbie guideline from the library.
though, for learning linux, i would like to start with a decently working os.
the installation wasn't really a problem, updating the system was also working, but every additional software i want to install is giving an error, skype cannot be installed (example).
any tips to solve this problem?
greetings,
patrick
problem solved thanks to an amazing forum,
thanks people, tomorow i'll be studying
