You don't give the impression, nor does your site...on the contrary.
It's just that some very proficiant windows-users sometimes get terribly lost 
in their first steps. especially when it comes to the CoMmandLine (CML) which 
we take almost for granted after a while:)

It's XFdrake (mind the capitals) .....enter XFd on the commandline (as 
su/root) and hit <TAB> for autocompletion. The <TAB> is your best friend 
(better 'n google) on the CML.
XFdrake is a wizard for configuring X and the desktop BTW.....You don't need 
it here.
