The 3 golden rules of linux.
1. Dont turn off at the switch or plug. Linux doesn't like that :)
2. If it crashes, hold down control-alt-f2 to get to a console where you can
fix it.
3. Remember, as long as you are not root nothing you do can mess it up. So feel
free to mess with whatever you want :-)
