Question Newbies questions, figure


Hello all, this is my first post here.

I just installed rh8.0/kde for the first time ever so im a true newbie! Coming from a windows XP background, i have absolutely no knowledge of commands and such, my first question is is there a site i could go to that list all the usefull commands, and well documented (documented so that i can understand it.. prefereably

i've been reading how-tos, tutorial and stuff all over and all it did was make me even more confused.. what i'm trying to do right now is kill a smbclient process that dont want to be killed.. what is the kill flag im suposed to use?

another one, i have a linux fileserver (a slackware one that my brother configured) and i'm trying to mount its drive on my box (i want music!! aggh!) however, i have a hard time figuring out the smbmount commands, its confusing.. please help me (a nice newbie how-to would be nice, but i dont need to understand how to share file, i just need to know how to mount shared ones)

alright.. please don't mind my bad english..

I don't want to be killed either and luckily killing me is harder than doing
kill -9 the_processID_of_smbclientprocess

For mounting you need to know, how the server shares the drive (via samba, nfs, is there something else?)
For samba do
mount -t smbfs -o username=yourusername //servername/sharename mountpoint
The mountpoint can be any directory. Maybe you need to run this command as root.

www.linux.org has some tutorials for people migrating from Windows to Linux, and it will give you a nice intuitive and well documented explanation. It's like an online class of what Linux is, and many commands you can use. Check it out,
