Re: debian newbie seeks help



Ok.
Basicly, in order to run a program all you need to do is type the program
name.
Like, in order to run netscape in Xwindows, you type 
netscape
and hit enter.
Many commands can include arguments with them, like
xterm -bg black -fg white geometry 80x35 
will produce an xterm window with black background, white font color and
size of 80x35. To find out more about the commands and arguements do
man <name of command>. Thats when you have manual pages installed.

A good book could be Linux in a Nutshell, which is a big command
reference.

HTH,
 Andrew
