I had some difficulties starting the X-server, but now I just do not know
where to start with installing windowmanager. I am interested in using
GNOME.
Could any one of you point out where I can start reading.
BTW: Where can I get information about the Linux-filesystem?

Sometimes I have the problem that some keys like the cursor do not work
any more. The strange thing about ist that they work before for some time
and then stop suddenly. In nano they write OB or OA for different cursor
positions. I use a german keyboard layout which works properly normally.

I understand that UUCP is a form of a network system or protocol. Is it

Is there any good documenation about networking in general which is
uptodate??

I should buy a new SCSI harddisk. In the box where it should be used,
