Hi to you also. I am just a simple man and use to the click and go of the Windows OS. Now i only have Linux on my system and can\'t do a thing except play the few games that came with it.
Ok here is what i have , an old Dell with a pentium4
at 1.6 Ghz, buss speed is 400Mhz, and i only have 128Mb of ram. My system is not over clocked.
Here is what i desire to know, EVERYTHING; how do i run *.exe programs on linux, i mean i just cant grasp all the different commands and what they do . I have been reading the help manuals on everything and just can\'t get it. Dont get me wrong , i have been trying different commands and all i keep getting is "that file dose\'nt exist or cannot find file,incorrect command,etc.,etc.,etc." A lot of people i use to associate with had Linux and were very happy with the way it worked, now i dont know those people any more and cant get any help from them.
PLEASE HELP I\'M LOST
