Do you have WWW access? If you do, go to YaHoo, and look up Linux. Search there for documentation about it. Another thing to do is look on your system under /usr/doc/ and see if there is a FAQ and HOWTO directory there. Reading that stuff will teach you a lot more than I can type in a minute or two. :-) To start out, you can view a file with `less filename`. Do `cd /usr/doc`, and then `ls | less` and see what's there. I would highly recommend installing Midnight Commander, (`mc`) which gives you a 'norton commander' like interface. With that, you can browse your filesystem, and view files. It's a really great way to read the HOWTO's and FAQ's, and it formats man pages really nicely too; so you can browse in the man directories with it. You can find `mc` on the Debian ftp sites. :-) -- Karl M.
