First, thanks to all who have helped me get the most = updated version of Fc3 during the past few days. I am now at the stage = of preparing myself to install it on my home pc. Let me, from the = start, point out that I am totally new to linux, having been brought up, = as it were, on the Windows' tradition of doing things. My intention of = branching into the Linux OS is so that I will be able to broaden my = horizons in computer programming, and who knows, i may be able to = program for Linux one day. As for now, I'll need lots of advice and = guidance. I recently downloaded a linux user's guide from www.tldp.org and my = question is, especially to those who have consulted it, is it sufficient = for me to get by with it? Also, are there any mannuals floating around = which deals with fresh users like me, which is easily obtainable and is = easy for new bees like me to understand? And apart from = www.linux-speakup.org are there any more sites that deal with Linux from = an accessible stand point that I can consult and refer to? Also, is = there some sort of glossary of linux commands that I can study for now? = Sorry for the many questions, but As I stated earlier, I am a totally = new user of linux, and for now, I'll need as much help and advice as I = can get. Thanks in advance and cheers! --=======AVGMAIL-4276D70F0252======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg=cert; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: "AVG certification" No virus found in this outgoing message.
