a lot of information is within the os as man pages, the other information you'll get online.

A complete guide is a tall order, but here are some useful references:

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.

There is also Ubuntu 10.10 essentials available from linuxtopia. They also have a few other documents which are very interesting. http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/...0.x_Essentials

As you can see there are lots of resources available. I have to say the link kindofabuzz provided does look quite nice too.

I want to thank all of you for your very fast response to my inquire,sincerely thanks very much!!!but I still haven't find the step by step guide that I'm looking for with screenshots and how to do it for a slow pace learners,this is the type of guide that I would love to find,I hope you can understand me, but I really need something with a more detailed information in order for me to really learn how to use Ubuntu 10.10

Thanks one more time, I already looked all the links that you guys kindly suggested to me, but I don't see anything that really fits my needs YET!!! but I'm a very persistent guy and I'll keep looking,asking for help until I find a full slow paced learners guide, with screenshots and detailed instructions how to use Ubuntu 10.10, I heard a lot of comments from my friends saying that Ubuntu is very complicated OS and is a pain in the b..t but on my case I keep trying to get to know how to use it properly,best regards to ALL OF YOU, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!

Depending on your hardware Ubuntu is fairly easy to install, most hardware is detected upon installation. As far as learning linux you won't learn it until you try it. As far as cost of os it just takes time.

The reason the assumption is made that it is a pain in the but is from the desktop environment in use. I to this day believe that in the case of using gnome, you have to get intricate with scripts, etc. It is not very user friendly straight out the box. I would recommend using kubuntu or get the kde environment installed from the package manager. You will see that once you have done that the transition is seamless. I find KDE to be lot less of a hassle compared to gnome. This does not mean gnome is a bad environment to use, however, if strugling get something to make life easier during the initial stages.

Will keep looking for a guide with pics. All the best

Guys is really a great experience to see how you have the time to try to suggest me where to look in order for me to find what I'm looking for, I truly appreciate it very much, I'm really grateful to all of you for all your kindness God bless every one of you, I mean it!!!

This is maybe off the wall, but if you go to youtube and search for "ubuntu," "ubuntu tutorial," "ubuntu demo," "gnome," "kde," or even "linux" you will find lots of videos. Some will be junk, but some will be quite helpful.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand forum posts.

A lot of it is what you are used to. If you are used to something, anything else can seem difficult when, in actuality,it's not easier or harder, it's just different.

I had to do some work in Windows today and found myself longing for the simplicity of Linux and Fluxbox. I kept trying to right-click to make the applications menu appear and trying to hit my hot keys to start applications.

And I sure wish I could have had multiple workspaces for what I was doing.
