That's the command prompt, you don't *have* to anything, but you can do what ever you want :) The suggested reading is a good start. Also make a "regular" user account so you can poke agound without breaking anyhting. To do this type "adduser" you'll be prompted for the necessary info, just use all lowercase letters and no spaces for the user name. Then logout (with "logout"), and log in with the new user name. Just for fun after that type "startx" at the command prompt (probably now "debian:~$"). This is how you start the graphical system with menues and pretty colors. In all likelyhood either nothing will happen or a whole bunch of text garbage will dump to the screen and nothing will happen :) This means XFree86 either isn't installed or (in the later case) is unconfigured. If you get graphic your in business, if not I baet that's what you do next. -Jon
