A question from a Linux new bee

[Sean McMahon]

Try googling for the newbedock project on sourceforge.  To the person who
enquired about making a kernel in Debian, also google there for the
kernel-package howto.  Read that howto in conjunction with  the kernel-package
documentation and wherever the latest draft of the kernel-howto is on the
tldp.org site.    The kerneltrap.org site may have some helpful forums you can
brows.

Subject: A question from a Linux new bee


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!
