I am completely new to Linux, though thoroughly familiar with Windows. Sorry most of the terminology means little to me.

I want to experiment with MySQL, as I must have a good database if I am to change to Linux. How do I get to the database? I have read one posting that says to use the command line, but I haven't yet been able to get to the command line: someone help?

When I load Knoppix, no doubt I will need help. Is there a MySQL FAQ, especially with a Knoppix falvour?

Are there any other databases on the Knoppix disk?
