I installed linux on my computer...now what?

[namd3r]

I finally got linux onto my computer, not the one I'm working on right now ie. not connected to the Internet. I was just wondering...what can I do with it? It's like I finally get it installed, so now what? How do I go about using it, and using it in a way that it would have benefited me to install it? I don't just want to use it like a computer that runs windows, I can already do that. Sure linux came with some cool applications and stuff, but I want to know how I would go about unleashing the real power behind it. I looked briefly on the net and didn't find anything, probably because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. What can/do I do with Linux?

I would like to help you but I use a copy of Windows xp.

I read there's plenty of linux stuff at the linux hompage.

Good luck.

Thanks for the link. I mistakenly thought that it was better to go to Google before going to the linux homepage...silly me.

There's no single Linux OS. There are various distributions of Linux that are based off of the Linux code. Each distribution has its own style.
