Hi! Yes, there is actually a book called Linux for Dummies. I got it as a print book and scanned it. It's a relatively short book by reference standards, but it might get you started. Evidently, there is a DebIan for Dummies, but I haven't got my hands on it yet. The Linux for Dummies though interesting didn't optimally scan, so you may need someone to do some editing. Hope this helps. Deb MayneOn Fri, 27 Jun 2003 10:38:00 -0400, you wrote: >Hello Again Tom, > Thanks a lot for your help. I have never done anything like that. I >have >no idea how to go about it.
