In addition to David's comments, you could also go to www.debian.org
and look tru the archives of this list. There have been 'many'
problems solved on this list, and the answers are in the archives!
If you find the answer there and solve some of your problems your
confidence will rise, along with with you Linux/Debian knowledge.
It's a win win!
