help... any information to use linux 1st time user and i luv it
 

need information to use it, Having trouble playing pogo .....checkers game ...thanks 4 all your help.

Here are three references I recommend for starters:

http://linux.about.com/. It's oriented to Ubuntu, but it's full of good info.

http://tille.garrels.be/training/tldp/. Machtelt Garrels Intro to Linux.

http://www.slackbook.org/. Slackware oriented, but excellent on the basics, such as file structure, permissions, and the like.

Welcome to the wonderful world for Linux. I think your enthusiasm will be repaid.

Several tutorials in youtube may help you. Try "Linux tutorial series part 1 & 2". As a newbie that tutorial help me much.
