throw in some extra cash and get vmware workstations from vmware.com and run linux inside windows.its the same as running linux seperately the only catch is you dont have to partition drives and stuff.you do it but its virtual.its really good if you want to learn linux without using the environments.

www.videolan.org

one of the best for all OS.

go to
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/br ... 40-7053709

if not go to amazon.com and then books and ebooks and manual.make sure u handy a credit card before going there.

that is why he was given the choice b/w installing an environment or setting up virtual machine (vmware) which i think is just like installing linux on new PC.

sure youi can go to

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/searc ... 01-2805715

and get more books beside linux only all in pdf formats.

you can also use the control Centre to change it.

you can also use man to get more help.man stands for manual so if i want to know more abt ifconfig i would type
man ifconfig
in console and it will give more info along with switches and stuff.

login with root and then run linuxconf and configure it to run on level 5.there can be quite some reasons for it to automatically change.did you installed something or stuff that can cause it too.once it happend to me with videolan well not really the console part but it took away all my desktop.
