I just downloaded and installed Debian on a computer for the first time. I think the free software thing is a great concept, and I like the fact that there is a legitimate alternative to the Microsoft ruled world of pc operating systems. I have only one slight problem. I don't have a clue how to use Linux. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to learn the interface, as well as what software I ought to have on my system and how to get and install it. I checked the Debian site's FAQs and howtos, but didn't find them very helpful. Anything you can tell me wuld be extremely helpful.
