I just wanted to alert people to Tux Magazine. I stumbled on a link to it somewhere. www.tuxmagazine.com. It is a free linux magazine distributed in PDF format aimed at new users. There is a lot of coverage of software, again aimed at the newbie. They are also looking for people to submit articles. The first issue is on the website now.

Thanks for that link. Looks just what I need to learn by doing projects.

One of the greatest means by which to learn is to attack your own linux box. Do things with it. Turn it into a mail server. Turn it into a webserver. A database server. Learn how to create backup scripts. Learn how to play with crontab entries and do things on schedule. Create simple scripts to do simple things. It's all good. Play with different window managers and desktops. Play with themes. Learn about burning different types of CD's. Ripping different kinds of CD's. Using different media players - the list goes on. It's a great learning experience and never be afraid to experiment.
To begin with I need to have some minor successes - even if they be by "point and click'. I want to use my system in ways that are appripriate to me - which are basic home user ways.
Yes - I want to understand and be able to execute things in the CLI. However it is going to take time for me to learn that. Sorry if I am such a dumb kiwi who is only happy when has sheep backed against the fence. Being a townie I have no idea what you refer to!
