Learning Curve

Been doing the Ubuntu thing. Spend hours yesterday working on things. Some stuff is easy. The stuff I really want to do is a little more complex. It's been years since I used a commandline, and never had any experience with Unix based systems. So I have a steep learning curve.

I installed some software. I got WINE (a program that lets some Windows programs run natvily in Linus) to work, and one program installed there. I couldn't get VMWare or Win4Lin to run - but that is likely my problem, not Linux's.

So I am learning, and having fun (aside from the frustrations).
Time to stop at a libarary for "dummies" guide to Linux/Ubuntu.
