A google search (URL at bottom of post) turned up some good info including
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ which could be a great place for you to learn
more about Linux

A good point to remember before posting to a mailing list is to ask yourself
the question, 'Have I done a search on what I am after' and 'Has it turned
up anything useful'. When you can answer Yes to the first and No to the
second then you can say 'Now I can post with a clear conscience'

Try picking up a Unix reference book from your local library, or better
still come to the PLUG meet on Tuesday at Central TAFE (details on the web
page) and we will be more than happy to answer your questions.
