Hey,

I'm a lifelong Windows user who just got interested in Linux. Maybe
conversion's too big a step right now, but a side-by-side installation
seems intriguing. Where is the right place for me to ask a lot of very
ignorant, newbie-type questions? I don't mind getting referred to
documentation or FAQs, but there's just so much written out there that
I have no idea where to start.

Thanks!

Here, but be prepared for smart ass replies from people who know a LITTLE more than you do...and have axes to grind,.sincerely convincing ones from people who know a lot *less*..and terse ones from people who know a lot more but are too busy to give more than a hint.
