I agree with you that I dont need most of the stuff that comes with a larger more bloated distro, not to mention it wont run on the two machines I have dsl running on. I am also pretty new to linux and am finding that there is more than enough to learn. Does anyone have any favorite websites/books to help facilitate the learning curve??

The Linux Documentation Project Is a good place for general linux guides (both in basic and advanced topics).

In particular I think Introduction to Linux is great when first learning about Linux.

Saidin Unleashed, says;
"In your /home/dsl directory you will see a folder called .xtdesktop."
There is NOT xtdesktop folder.
I think do I need to "setup" xtdesk/xtdesktop?
In DSL Documentation Project, I do keyword search for xtdesk & xtdesktop, and I get nothing.

I will persevere...

Directories with a '.' before the name are hidden. When in emelfm, click on the "H" at the left hand upper corner of the pane. You will see all the hidden files. If you did a search of the forum for .xtdesktop all forums from the beginning you would get a ton of hits.

Friedgold.
I looked at "Introduction to Linux."
I see a VERY VERY LONG list of pages to read.
I look at 'processes, shutdown' page.
I see a VERY MASSIVE amount of text to read.
When I read the book, "Red Hat Linux 6 Visual Quickpro Guide," I am informed of the command, 'shutdown -h now' in no time at all.

Friedgold, I think that "Introduction to Linux," is TOO TOO TOO BIG.

Kind Regards.
