Umm... just a short question:
Who is maintaining this sticky?

I am, I used to have all the free time in the world but I'm busy with a lot right now. If you want just post suggestions here and whenever I come around I'll look at them and add them in.

To Calvin or anyone else, how about creating a link for basic Terminal commands for us noobs?

I had to install Veetle via the terminal and I fudged and stumbled my way thru it. I got it to work but it would have been very helpful to have a reference on how to change directories etc.

The latest edition of the PCLOS Magazine is a compliation of all of their CLI intro articles. Worth a look.

Thanks Boundzy but without the link few of us noobs would have known.

How about someone posting a noobs guide to Wine? I am having trouble figuring it out lol.

Thanks, I had a look at it and it was just general info. I would like to know how to properly set it up, add programs etc, how to find those programs on my disk.

I downloaded Wine 1.2 from Software Manager and just clicked on Configure Wine. That's where i'm at lol.

Oh I forgot to mention, i'm running Mint 10 RC 32 bit exclusively on my Vostro 1500.
