Compile and Install more compicated applications "Java, LimeWire, Games"
Where can I go to learn how to install and edit fluxbox?
Where can I go to learn the console commands in a more "tutorial" like fashion.
Where can I go to figure out why RedHat linux 8.1 works, but 8.0 doesn't work on my computer?
Where can I go to learn how to turn off processes in Mandrake, and learn which ones are safe to turn off.
Where can I go to learn how to program for linux.
I'm sure no one person will answer any of those, but any reliable source for help would be awesome.
Thank you very much :)

here. that is covered in many posts already.

http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
they have excellent documentation.

buy a book on the bash shell. "Learning the Bash Shell" by O'Reilly is quite good.

post a question here detailing what exactly doesn't work. or do a forum search here.

post a question here and someone who uses Mandrake will answer it. or: www.google.com/linux or do a forum search here.

I use C++ to program for Windows... I don't know what language is popular with Linux, but I would like to know. Thanks
Do you happen to know of any FREE documentation on the console commands.
I am not sure if I am going to stick with Linux yet. It is very complicated, so I was must wanting to know. I am still evaluating Linux at the moment :)
But I do like the community involved with Linux.
I just hope Linux doesn't turn out like another Windows. I see people are starting to charge money for linux, and give less to try to get you to purchase software. I would rather donate money :rolleyes:

On Linux you can find docs for all cmds using
man cmd
OR
man -k cmd ( or apropos cmd)
for wider searches.
Also, in RH anyway, see /usr/share/doc dir.
Plus of course GOOGLE :)
Re Languages on Linux:
Definitely learn the shell to start. There are many versions, but bash is usually the default for Linux.
C/C++ is part of most distros, as is Perl, and Java can be got for free from SUN website.
You can get many others free...

then use one of the "totally" free ones like Debian or Gentoo. (see their social contracts on their web pages)
