Requested: Tips for Getting Started With Linux

[Stoppard]

Sorry I can't really answer all of those questions as I am new my self.  But
I would say patience staying power are the main 2 things, closely followed
by finding where to look for information and where to ask questions.

I am currently using Oralux which runs from cd so no install is necessary.
www.oralux.org

hope this helps,
Nigel,
