Hi! What you're seeing is the so called 'command prompt' - it means that the computer has accepted your login/password and is now waiting for your input. Your should perhaps trying to describe what program you want to start - how should I know[1]? I guess you probably want a graphical user interface (windows/mac like), so you'll probably try 'startx' or 'startkde'. This should start the graphical desktop. I'd suggest you read a good all-round Linux/Unix introduction - you can probably search in google for 'Linux introduction', or go to a bookstore. cheers -- vbi [1] If I was mean I could suggest you try 'vi' as 'the program' (NOTE: do NOT do this until you know why I would be mean if I suggested this! It won't destroy your data, I'm not *that* mean. But you won't like it either.) -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg NOTICE: subkey signature! request key 92082481 from keyserver.kjsl.com
