Well, today's the day. Today I finally get to thumb my nose at Microsoft and install the penguin instead. That's right-- I'm moving to Linux.

Of course there's only one small problem. Ha! Actually there are a lot of problems, but they all stem from the fact that I know nothing -- abso-freakin-lutely nothing -- about Linux.

I'm a DOS guy. I know DOS inside and out, backwards and forwards. If you looked inside my brain, you'd see a DOS prompt and the message Bad command or filename. So it's only natural that I stayed safely within the Windows world.

So. I have an old Pentium and Red Hat Linux. Let's see what this penguin can do.
