    Hey,

    I have a pc here that i want to try Linux on.
    I Installed uBuntu no problem but my wifi usb dongle aint working on it.
    So i tried Suse as it was recommended. Same problem.

    I have a Zyxel G-260 USB Dongle.
    Can't find anywhere that tells me how to install it.
    (P.S im a n00b at linux)

    You should try searching (or asking yourself) on the Ubuntu Forums. A good information resource for these types of things (er, that is assuming you've gone back to Ubuntu from Suse).

    I'm not familiar with that perticular device, but I think Zyxel products usually have some sort of linux support.

    Or you could do 
    lsusb
    with the dongle plugged in, and then google for linux + 'USB ID' e.g. my Netgear dongle shows up as 
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0846:4110 NetGear, Inc.
