Hi,
I need help.
OK, so I've finally managed to install Linux, and am proud to
say that it boots up just fine etc., and I get the prompt on the
screen (localhost etc.).
Now what!?
Believe it or not, I have two books, but neither of them tell
one where to start. They just go straight into it - the heavy stuff.
Can anyone recommend a ground-up hands-on type
book/tutorial that explains the simple things in life (Linux)?
Like, how to view the contents of files on the drive, how to make
a better prompt, how to install all this lovely software one reads
about and so on?
I will be most grateful for any assistance.
Tnx
Lew.
