Where to find documentation for desktop users?
 

Honestly finished reading documentation for Fedora 16 on fedoraproject.org, and now have more questions than I found there answers. Almost all involves either enterprise administrator or server, either for if you run a server, or allow access to server, or enter command for firewall, containing word "server".

Do you know, by any chance, some documentation for average desktop users, about security and administration?

What set in firewall to read web pages, and web based mail, login in secure (https) places, use SFTP to upload/download files from my web host, who are users and groups generated by install (I trust already given to me answers, now looking for documentation to learn more), is auto logging as limited user preferable to entering password every time? Somehow I got this idea after reading main documentation at fedoraproject.org.

I did the search, found not much. Ether wrong terms, or this information is scattered too much.

My single user PC is part of home LAN, computers don't share files or printing, only internet access via router, administrator (not me) uses Windows, not Fedora.

Thank you.

Average users would be referencing the User's Guide, with the system defaults.

Thank you, something 3x more advanced? Not command line advanced, but for migrant from Windows. Does it exists at all?:scratch:

Sorry for being not clear about meaning of "average user", from what I read about Linux, the advanced user is one who manages LinuxOS from command line.

This user guide is more about navigation and keyboard alternatives to mouse clicks (they don't shortcut much), than about security (beyond password and ftp), under the hood, and administration - as it was described in Fedora documentation for server administrators and a little bit more.

This guide goes right to browsing the Web without getting into details of firewall settings, removing or blocking unused programs, stopping sharing and remote access (if there is one, as in Windows Remote Registry and Remote Desktop), installing antivirus, rootkit search tool, fail2ban, some local leak test, and similar.

If you look to the left on that page, you can see the other documents that might interest you. For example, the System Administrator's Guide and the Security Guide.

Thanks again.
This is the same that in above it, but not in the Drafts - in Fedora documentation. Mostly command line and servers.
Well, this is a pattern. No more questions.
