I think the best way is to just post on the forum, and we will all try to help you the best that we can.

By using outside PM systems, no one else gets to learn and benefit from your questions.

If you want some assisted tutoring, maybe look for a local Linux User's Group (LUG) in your area. They are usually around universities, and such. Find out when they have meetings, or look for an "installfest" - the knowledgeable users there will be more than happy to show a noob the ropes.

And, my next recommendation is to go to a bookstore and browse through the Linux books and find one that talks to your expereince level, yet covers the challenging subjects you want to cover, and read up a bit. (my personal experience with the "Learn Linux in 24 Hours" series isn't good, but you may find that useful).

Welcome to the world of freedom of choice. :)

Mark

[EDIT: P.S. To find someone who will tell you everything you want to know about shell commands, man is 'the man', ya dig? ;)]

try going to your local computer store and picking up a linux manual for the specific distro you are going to get. i would actually pay the money to get the documentation it really helped me when i started using linux a few years back... also support the developers =)

Anyways good luck on trying out linux i have been trying out knoppix and i like it so far, have tried others but the whole live cd thing is great.

And don't forget IRC. Although a lot of people in #linux treat n00bs pretty harshly. It is still a great place to learn. Also google is your bestest friend in the whole world.

As for LiveCDs, I have a copy of Knoppix, but I have fallen IN LOVE :wub: with SUSE's LiveCD!

I have never tried SUSE before, but that CD is beautiful! :yes: (Y)

Good God, markjensen. Are you actually implying that he can help himself?

Blasphemy.

Errr...

I said we could help him help himself... :shifty:

Plus, the "man" edit at the end of my post was WAY nicer than the RTFM users normally get in IRC. :pinch:

mark.. you are the man, thanks dude i will definetely try this out and post back on it. I kinda needed to try another one anyways for some reason my knoppix 3.3 once it loads everything is fine, but after 10 minutes of it being on and running my sound drivers die out, they just stop working. When the computer starts everything works fine, but after 10 min of startup i get no sound at all, i have no idea why, anyways il give this a try thanks again.... :D
