How new? This is not what i really consider a good linux to begin with, i would recommend somthing like mepis or ubuntu to start then move on to others once you get the hang of things. Look here->

Gurk, linux has changes a lot in the last ten years. Now you need a different training for every major distro.

The one I learn the most is RUTE:

Why not Kerry?
Many people here are newbies because the DSL can run Live from cdrom drive being easy and fast to test it without modifying the previous operative system installed to hard disk.
Other Linux distros need a hardly hard disk install process for a newbie. In fact, that delayed my entry to Linux
Also Knoppix run Live but DSL is 10 times more small and also run over the old computers with few resources being they frequently the target for tests.
I had wanted that my first distro had been DSL as somebody affirm on this post:
Laugh or Cry ?
The documentation for any software is useful but, my personal opinion, is ever very weary.
I believe that doing something simple on Linux with help from searching and reading the documentation only for that specific topic be better than to begin first from reading all the documentation.
I recommend Flamesfan to begin gradually. You do a day with DSL a thing that does frequently with Windows, another day another one, and so on.
