Hi Sanial,
I am failry new to Linux too (also on a dual boot
) and I know what you mean - navigating your way around does take a little getting used to! I have been using it for about a month now and have just recently managed to set up a small private network. I get most of my information from the linux HOWTO's and guides which cover most topics and are really good for newbies!
Cheers,
Chris
