Welcome from around the world (Germany),
grub!
A great source for knowledge and entertainment is the
magazine, and have a look at the
knowledge base. Many initial answers can probably be found this way.
I've learned my ways around PCLOS by reading new posts as well as searching the forums. I've found just about everything I needed to know.
If you can't find what you need, just ask. Many friendly helpers are waiting to jump in.
So, I hope you enjoy your first steps with the "distro hopper stopper"

Have fun!
Torsten
