Hello! My name is Tony, I live in Ireland. I have enrolled in this course because I recently downloaded Solaris 10 and Ubuntu which I have installed on two separate laptops. I am totally confused by what I see and find myself going around in circles. So far in my attempts to get help on various web sites I find that most answers are too complicated and it's as if I should already know all the vocabulary and buzz-words that go with this new territory before I can ask a "sensible" question and get an understandable answer!

I would love to get a simple, straightforward explanation of the basics so that I can then begin to build. At the moment, I feel totally lost.mixed
