As a Mandrake newbie from Saturday I believe the first thing I need to do is to come to terms with some of the new expressions, commands and abbreviations. I was advised from whence to download some documentation. The downloaded file came with a .gz extension, which had I the documentation (!) might have told me was a zip file. However, I discovered this and more by luck than knowledge managed to unzip into `archive'. However, when trying to open in Star Office or an editor I simply ended up with a blank page of that file name. I feel like a 3 year old who has been given a book entitled 'How to Learn to Read'. As one who wishes to USE Linux, as opposed to 'playing' with it I realise that I could be unique, but I could just start a trend.
Help! (or whatever commands are used to say the word in Linux.) Peter.
