There are many sources for support for a Linux "newbie" nowadays, and
even Debian based distributions that are designed to be more newbie
friendly. I'd suggest looking into Libranet (www.libranet.com). It's
Debian based, but tracks some of the more up-to-date packages than
Debian stable (currently woody, soon (?) sarge). Libranet has a
mailing list and on-line web forum, both of which are very supportive
of new users. Libranet supplies a GUI administration tool giving you
a point and click administration interface.
You might also benefit from the HOWTO collection at www.tldp.org (The
Linux Documentation Project).
Have fun. Welcome to the party. :-)
