Hi,

The problem is that "getting started" documents are usually either 
distribution-specific or are so general as to lack the kinds of specific 
information a newbie to LInux really requires in order to install and get 
started with Linux.

So perhaps you should ask some of your other questions, as this may 
influence which distribution is recommended and hence which reading 
material could help you further.
