If have finally managed to install Linux (any distro) and you are now wondering what to do next,
or how to do it read this:
Linux CookBook
It should help you alot...
From the preface:
<< I know that Linux isn't difficult to use, especially when compared with other software and operating systems, but what was needed was a guide to show people how to use it to get things done: "Oh, you want to do that? Here, type this."
That explains the premise of the book -- it's a hands-on guide to getting things done on a Linux system, designed for the everyday user who is not necessarily a computer programmer. >>
<< The Cookbook assumes that you have at least minimal understanding of your computer hardware -- you don't have to know how to take it apart or anything like that, but you ought to know how to operate the mouse, where the power button is on your computer and monitor, how to load paper in your printer, and so forth. If you need help with any of these tasks or concepts, ask your dealer or the party who set up your computer.
This book also assumes that you have Linux installed and properly set up, and that you have your own user account set up on your system. If you need help with this, please see If You Need More Help.
While this book can and should be used by the newcomer to Linux, I like to think that I've presented broad enough coverage of the Linux-based system, and have included enough interesting or obscure material, so that wizards, hackers, and members of the Linux Cabal may find some of it useful -- and that said users will not feel ashamed to have a copy of this book on their desk or as part of their library. >>
