Ok, this might be too basic for you, but just in case, I thought I should
send you some links:
[myloginname@host ]$ This is the command line prompt. It is from here that
you run Linux commands (similar to, but MUCH more powerful than DOS).
However you probably want to run linux in graphical mode (thereby being more
similar to windows or other graphical based operating systems, again, only
more powerful). Try doing a full install of Linux on its own partition,
things should work better and it's a great way to experience Linux for the
first time. You might find it is easier than you think. But there is
always SO much to learn. :) Check out http://www.mandrakecampus.com and
http://www.mandrakeuser.org to learn more about the command line and
commands you can run with it.
