Re: Newbie Help (was: Re: (no subject))



Hello Gurus

I think that its very hard to get into the linux world !!!!

Yes Yes I been throwing hours on understanding basic things.

Like what is HOWTO.

Some one gave those Documents that name but didn't told the newbie how
to find them or what are they or how to look at them.

A newbie that just now installed linux find himself front Login then he
gets into command mode and then he ask him self what now ?

Any way the HOWTO is not so good as it may appear i remember my self
trying to understand the CD-ROM HOWTO and it was not easy !!!

Any way I think that in the web site http://www.linux.org.il you should
put A BIG LINK "COME HERE NEWBIE" which will lead to a tutorial which
will explain how to use the HOWTO and all other stuff.

If linux will continue to be hard to newbie we will loose the war for
Uncle Bill.
