Yea im very new to Linux. The Ctl-alt command didn't work nor did the CTL by itself. What is X or the X configure? As for the documentation for CentOS I went to Red hats website through a link someone gave me but there is so many documents I don't know which ones I am suppose to download. Before I waste my time downloading them all I would like someone to give me a better heads up on what to download first. Everyone says to Google the information but I cant seem to find anything for a beginner.
ok, here goes:
http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-sbs-en-4/
this is the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Step By Step Guide; it's a reasonably good start for a newbie. i'd recommend reading all of it rather than trying to pick out bits and pieces.
if you'd like to print it out for offline reading, a PDF version is available here:
http://www.centos.org/docs/4/pdf/rhel-sbs-en.pdf
once you're done with those, consider perusing the System Administration Guide and/or the Reference Guide, or read those books i recommended earlier. more general documentation is available at the Linux documentation Project:
but at a bare minimum, read the Step By Step Guide. then come back with questions. :)
