Hi all

I am incredibly new to linux and would apprecaite a little help please.

Having been interested in moving away from MS products for some time (and gradually doing so with open office, thunderbird, firefox) I have decided to go the whole hog and go for linux OS. So I bought a mag which has 3 live linux cds on, one of which is knoppix.

Have loaded up the CD fine and was very suprised. For some reason I expected linux to be command prompt based but it's suprisingly windowsy.

Anyway, back to the point. I haven't a clue how to use it! anyone know a good "how to" site they can reccommend please?

Also, whilst my mouse works in that I can wiggle it around and the pointer moves, knoppix doesn't respond to any clicks. could this be a driver issue? if so how do I rectify this as I assume I will need to install the drivers each time I load the CD. Or can I save settings in a folder on my HD and use it when I load knoppix?


I don't want to install knoppix to my HD just yet as I am told that one man's linux is another man's poison and want to get a feel for linux, try out a few distros ad then install the one with which I am most comfortable.
TIA
