Hey, I finally decided to give linux a try and I'm in a little over my head. I have Mepis. I kinda understand it but I've got a few questions.
1. How do you add and remove programs?
2. How do I find out which parts of my hardware don't have drivers installed yet?
3. This thing is kinda slugish about loading web pages, why is that?
4. How easy is it to install drivers?

I guess that's all for now. Any other knowledge any of you have of this OS is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

EDIT:
I've been fooling around with it for a little while. I actually undertand more than I though I would. I think I like windows better though. It's much easier to use. Trying to do anything in linux is just to time consuming.
