Welcome to the group.

You should find that most people on here are very helpful and helpful 
for /enjoying/ the Linux Learning Curve ;-)

One good place is:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation

Linux systems are usually very well behaved and kindly towards other 
systems. You usually get a few warnings _before_ your hard disk gets 
written to. The first thing is to take the time to read and understand 
all the messages and prompts before the next mouse click. Linux is very 
different to the Microsoft "blindly (blithely) click it all away" mentality.

You'll be welcome at our next meet up for various hints and tips (and a 
good Indian Curry). Some of us could even be persuaded for an impromptu 
meetup in Beeston soonish...


Small hint: Please post TEXT only. Most html postings get trapped as 
spam and need me to accept them for the maillist. Lots of clicks!
