Is there such thing as a website that gives simple step by step instructions for doing things in Linux or even a book I could buy that does this? I have looked at every Linux website I can find and none of them do this or even have the ability to do a search to find out how to do things. I also see that there are different versions, packages and desktops available and nowhere can I find anything that tells what the differences are for and how to use them to your advantage. I really need to know how to install and uninstall programs and how to find and install things that I get an error saying they are missing to launch a program. This is one reason for now that Linux has no chance against Windoze as it is so hard to find this kind of info. It seems that it is way too much sugar for most peoples dime.
