Yay! So now I've got a relly nifty commandline prompt and about 1,000 different things I'll need to do (configure X, sound?, Ethernet PC cards). But where to start? Is there a list somewhere of "What newbies ought to do after they install" ? (CVSUP? What's that? How do I get myself current from the 4.3 ISO release?) (Yes I know these are -questions but I thought they fall under "helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources.")
