You *are* in &quot;Linux&quot;

You're likely running bash, which is a shell. Like command.com only 100000 times better. What's
there to do on it? Well, it likely comes with a plethora of compilers. You can set up a
web server with Apache. You can set up and ftp server with wu-ftpd. You can email using
mutt and read newsgroups with tin.

Remember, Linux isn't for everyone. It pretty much &quot;does one thing, and does it well&quot;.

If you want a GUI, install XFree 86 4.1, GNOME, GTK, and Sawfish. I have no idea how
to do that on a non-Debian system. You should try reading _Running Linux_ from O'Reilly. It's
a very good book.
