CrunchBang Linux

To summarize from all:
1. Some one writing these virus to make people buy anti virus software. .and there others exploring to break the defence and public are caught in collateral damage.
2. Some one want to exploit the weakness ( who knows inside out of OS) and try to get information
3. People testing the software and having fun...
4. Govt computer experts creating it to extract information for good .. Say  'X" visits a dirty site which govt want to profile.. trojans/virus will get in his machine which are markers for minitoring 'X'.

I have a question, If hackers can be caught and prosecuted, why not the virus creators ?

Only category 1 above may not be relevant to linux as it is free and no commercial interest unless used by the corporates. But 2, 3 and 4 still possible in linux.
Simply put it, if we stay on good sites and careful with email attachments and USBs windows or linux we are safe .. Is my understanding right.

Thank you Awebb and as always machinebacon
I will start with documentation. Thank you very much.

Thank you machinebacon and #!Die-hard
Yes indeed, there were entries of applications in the autostartup, Now I know there is autostartup file! cheers.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I say no data transmission, I meant that connections status seems established, connection signal seems good however The connection information shows that IP addresss 192.168.1.1 which I believe is invalid. Browser complains of no internet anyways.

I restart the laptop, every thing back on track. This issue happens only when I loose the connection midway and connected back.  Thank you very much.

Hi machinebacon,

You are awesome man. I will try these options, when I get back and let you know. I use openbox, I haven't tried XFCE yet.
Cheers

Thank you machinebacon

You are right, the person I am chatting is on windows. Never realized that could be issue. Is there no abstraction layer / tunnneling protocol between Windows and Linux or Apple.  If you have managed video with Yahoo then probably I need to do some settings to work for me as well.
Did you get any of the video/audio working between two platforms linux and windows etc.

Thanks a lot

Thank you machinebacon...

I thought I posted the latest outcome.. which thread did I post. Any ways  (solved with Text Install) 
We are talking statler 10.

I used graphical installation earlier and I think it's not really graphical. It gave so many options and did not recognize the partitions are ready to be used. Trust me I have put gparted before I launched graphical install and ensured every thing in right order as I have formatted the previous data.

So I put back gparted again and noticed that I managed to screw up the linux partition file type using the graphical installation. I had to configure again via the gparted and this time used  TEXT Install instead.

Installation happened well.  but since we are talking experiences
1.  Since already had bit of trouble installation, I did panic when blue blank screen with black strip was presented to me for 20-30 seconds .. before welcome grub information loaded!
2. Once installation is done and restarted, the grub came up with no windows information and within no time took me to Crunchbang post installation .. and It went smoothly after connecting to net (which I give 10000 stars to Crunchbang) ..and here I noticed a very welcome information .. grub was updated post installation with windows information .  Then I thought may be it is by design this way.

All good .. now  Grub is behaving well..  I have an additional point of discussion though
during installation grub noticed windows and recommended me to install grub information in the MBR of the boot drive. I said ok as I am beginner and go by advice but I remember reading from net that it is preferred to have Grub installed NOT in the windows MBR.  I have no take on this. All I want to know is in future if I want to have only windows how to cleanly have windows or if there is a corruption of grub (I hope not) then how to handle it. 

Now it is time for me to experience and learn linux.. setting up server, using sql and modifying the files to make user experience better and slowly know what I am talking about in linux.. .. Any help in these regards will be appreciated. Cheers.
