Find someone who knows the stuff, like this list :) Also just play around
and read the faq's. I've found that most people moving over from a windos
env to Linux/Unix, just don't read the doc's. They are there for a reason
:) 90% of my questions are answered in the docs. I know that if I have a
question, chances are someonel sel already asked it.

Unfortunately, I was brought up in the DOS and Windows world and have very little, and I mean little, Linux or Unix experience. I have purchased a couple of books on Linux, but they are written for people who can actually "maneuver" around. It took me several days just to figure out that I needed the CSH shell to get things to even run. BOOKS SUCK!!!!!
