After centuries with MS, I finally decided to give Linux a try. I took an old laptop (PIII 500) and downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu. The install went very well once I realized that you have to load the system on the root and not in a folder. So now the question is: Where do I go from here? Can anyone recommend a good reference manual that would get a newbie past looking around and more into the guts of things? Or am I better off looking at Ubuntu specific documentation? I have no problem with playing around and breaking things, since this is only for my Linux education and a reload is simple enough, but would like some sort of roadmap to get me as comfortable with Linux as I am with Windoze. I do a lot of registry modifications and configuration changes in Windoze and would like the same flexibility with Linux. I know it’s there, but what’s the best source for getting started?
