Choosing Unix/Linux Platform
I've decided dual-booting. I've just partitioned my harddisk. I think I'm gonna try Fedora first.
I've installed Fedora now, but I have a question.
I know I deserve to be spitted at, but where can I find the command line? (I'm using gnome)

The key word to look for in the menu is 'terminal'.
Or you can hold down Alt-Ctrl and press any of F1 through F6. That should give you several fullscreen textmode terminals. (Unless of course they don't run virtual terminals on them anymore in Fedora, which I doubt)

it's fedora that need spitting on, not you!
alt+f2 in gnome should bring up a sort of command line - if you can't find a terminal program in the gnome menus (when I tried Fedora I found one in the gnome menu, but not the kde one) type terminal or gnome-terminal in there, and hopefully one of them will give you a terminal (easier than having to switch to a virtual console). If you have kde installed as well, typing konsole will do the job too

Also, a very good site is www.linxuquestions.org. They have a Linux HCL, an active forum, Linux news briefs, and all sorts of other stuff. It is one of the best Linux sites I have seen. Good luck with Linux!
