Hello from Sweden!
Hello, my name is Mikael and I am a complete newbie to the world of Linux. I am looking forward to learning a lot of what you have to offer!
I am 18 years old and I live in Sweden.
If you guys feel like something were of big help when you were a newbie, please let me know I am not a person who want to learn something in 5 minutes, if I fail I give up. I know that Linux takes time to learn, and I am willing to use that time.
So far though I have learned that Ctrl+Alt+T opens up the Terminal, and Alt+F2 opens up a mini terminal. I also managed to run the 'Mintinstall' command which opened some kind of massive installer program. From there I installed 'guake' which is another kind of Terminal which I activate through pressing F12, and it is really cool.
This is already my favourite community. I've been strolling around in the various parts of it and everyone are so nice! Looking forward to meeting you all!

We should have a newbie of the month award, or something. This is an awesome attitude Mikael So hi Mikael, and welcome to the Linux Mint forumsmSorhall wrote:I know that Linux takes time to learn, and I am willing to use that time.
If you are going to spend time on the terminal, the http://ss64.com/bash/ may be a nice overview of some common commands. Three helpful commands are "man program", "whatis program", and "apropos terms". The man command will show you the manual page ("manpage") of a command, giving you (usually) a lot of information on how to use it (or get an idea why to use it if you are new to it ). As an excercise to the reader, start with understanding the man command and then use it to find out about whatis and apropos
Code: Select all
man man
The most helpful learning tool for me has been VirtualBox. If you have a somewhat powerful computer (4 GB memory or more), go ahead and install VirtualBox. You can install it from the Software Manager, or mintinstall, or just:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding even more themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon. Also check the mintBox, the Linux Mint computer
You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users.

Re: Hello from Sweden! & Thank you xenopeek
Welcome mSorhall. I'm a Mint newbie, too. Looking forward to crossing paths in the forums.
Really wanted to thank xenopeek for providing terminal commands which will help us understand... terminal commands.
Appreciatively,
