Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

well when I try to test it like it says on the site I type notepad and this is what I get
bash-2.05b# notepad
Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /root/Desktop; starting in windows directory.
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file (/root/.wine/config)
here's the section of my config file with the windows thing
well....wine does not run with 'root' user. You need to login as a normal user to run apps using wine. Additionally, there is also a command called 'winecfg' for configuration. And if you have installed wine from an .rpm file, it will automatically configure most of the settings. You will only need to create a fake windows directory.
some of the older versions run studio mx, but the newer ones are giving me problems with studio mx and adobe photoshop
i recommend that you grab the 20031118 version and use that if you want to use studio mx (i think studio mx and photoshop ran on that; check frankscorner for the version that worked); but do not install in linux, install in windows and copy over to linux (unless you want to spend 24 hours for the program to install in wine...)
well this is what I get I made a user named "xxxx"
bash-2.05b$ notepad
\Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /home/xxxx; starting in windows directory.
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file (/home/xxxx/.wine/config)
