Others have answered your specific question. For a lot of help/advice (for the experienced as well as beginners) I suggest you download the Rute manual. Google for it. Mine is in html and bookmarked in my favourite browser. As you familiarise yourself with it your knowledge of linux will greatly increase.
It took six minutes to download on a steam age copper wire modem. I'd been put off by a previous discussion which seemed to involve megadollars and endless trouble. I was wrong!
The book is refreshingly straightforward. It is a tutorial. I keep it open in one screen and keep a console open in another (not always root).
I'm only up to section 4.10 (out of 44) but I agree with a previous writer: the Rute manual should be on every CD and linked on every website. It will save me endless frustration and save the list a lot of patient re-explaining the wheel. Thank you Barry, and others.
