It will take a lot of both Gordon, "read" is the key. my attempt is to
get a good general overview of the system operation, and then detail
on the specific problem of the day.
My opinion is do not spend a lot of money on books, it is
quite unnecessary as the web has just about any information you
need...my problem has been knowing where to find it...but I am getting
a clue about that. Make use of mandrakeusers.org and the newbie sites
they are all around and linked by most of the linux sites...just find
them and read...your CD has a lot of info in the howto section and
man. if you have the system running already type man man.or info.
