Your distribution should have come with a complete set of HOWTOs.  However,
some may be dated, so you may wish to view them on the web.  There are many
sites which provide HOWTOs in html, text, and other formats.    I generally
go to:

http://www.linux.org/help/index.html

HOWTOs which may be relevant to your particular needs:
http://www.linux.org/help/ldp/howto/Sound-HOWTO.html
http://www.linux.org/help/ldp/howto/Sound-Playing-HOWTO.html
http://www.linux.org/help/ldp/mini/Soundblaster-AWE.html

Take a look at the index of HOWTOs, so when you run into problems you'll
have an idea of where you might look for answers.

Good luck

What's Netscape Messanger? Is that an AOL Instant Messanger thing?
(I think there are AOL IM clones out there. Try freshmeat.net)

1. 101 Things you can do I Linux but not in DOS/Win

I'm talking about those things that make Linux a
better OS. I want everyone to add to this and we all may
learn something. Can we make it 101????

1. You can hold down the shift key and press 'Page up' to
    see 'x' number of screens that has scrolled up out of view.
   'x' is 8 on my system.

2. You can <left alt><F2>, etc, to switch consoles and do
   real command line multitaksing.  You can multitask more
   than one task at a time (aka - preemptive).

3. You can kill off a nasty program without resorting to
   the "big red switch" reboot.

4. You can install new programs without rebooting (unlike
   MS's install-reboot-install-reboot process).

5. You don't have to worry about overwriting a new .dll
   with an old one when you install an application.  An
   application install won't degrade your system to obsolete
   libraries.

6. There is no device mangler (a Win95/98 thing).  There
   is no brain dead wizzard (another Win95/98 thing).
   Yahooooooooooo!

7. You don't have to spend hundrends of $$ on a 2nd party
   X Windows emulation package, like eXceed.  X is free!

8. You can have arbitrary long filenames.

9. Read news while you burn CDRs.

10. No "out of environment" errors

11. No "stack overflow" errors

12  No this_is_my_file.txt as thmyfile.txt

13. When mysterious things happen, if all else fails, you can look
    at the source code.

2. apsfilter and HP DeskJet 660C is up and running

3. linux on a toshiba satellite 1905-s277 (european 1900-101)

4. staroffice drag/drop ftp & view hidden files

5. 101 things you can do in Linux but not in DOS

6. 2.4 lseek usage cleanup, take two

7. linux ppc and devices kernal version 101

8. Problems compiling Xemacs

9. Help with Sair/GNU Linux 101/102 Certification

10. linux on a toshiba satellite 1905-s277 (european 1900-101)

11. Linux 101

12. linux 101

13. LINUX Keyboards: 101 key pre-programmed and original IBM mechanical !!
