The best way to become a Linux user is to expend some effort on
your own part before asking for assistance. Actually most of this
investigation should be done before you install Linux. Linux like many
OS's has a steep learning curve. The more effort you put into
educating yourself in the beginning, the shorter and less steep is the
learning process. If you're like most of us it'll all seem like
Chinese arithmetic at first. Just keep reading, you'll be surprised at
how fast it'll start comin together.
At this point tho, you might wanna try click'n on your main menu,
Documentation | Mandrake Doc and read everything there. If you want
further clarification, go thru the entire site at
http://mandrakeuser.org/ There's many other sites on the Net that
provide specific Linux help and docs, Google is prob'ly your best
friend here. Then if you want to query the mailing list(s), first
search the archives at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3
to see if your questions are common ones that've already been answered.
You'll get quicker answers that way.
