Hi Friends.  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!
