The first thing you need to learn is the difference between
multiposting and crossposting. You have several answers in another
newsgroup where you multiposted this.

And the chance of getting a linux system _running_ in a week are
decent. learning what you're doing? Not likely. Think years to get
a good grasp of linux.
