Well I have decided to stick with Debian. Thanks for all the suggestions and insightful comments I received to "Debian too difficult, Red Hat?":) I still don't have X-windows. I do have my mouse working now:) I am kind of starting over here. I have decided to try using email. I have a connection to the internet. I used "ping" and verified the connection. One problem, I can only use "pon" while signed in as root. I saw a post for someone who had this problem and tried the solution: "Do 'adduser user_name dip' but got "The command adduser does not exist." I also can't figure out how to bring up "Mailx." Under dselect it says it is installed but when I type in mailx nothing happens. I looked at the info page and couldn't see anything about how to get the program up. I have the latest Debian what is the easiest way or programs to use, in order to use email? I also can't figure out how to find clear documentation on my system. I went trough steps outlined in a book I have, using "ghostscript" and "zcat", using either one I get "Command doesn't exist." I put in "cd HOWTO" and then "ls" I can see a "mail-HOWTO.gz" but can't figure out how to read it. Could someone point the way as to how to read files on my system? Thanks, Kent
