DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Serious letter.

Serious letter.
Most peoples computer ability is dismal.
Example, in Microsoft Windows, CTRL+ALT+DEL, & end programs running in background, is beyond most peoples grasp.
Do you get what I am saying.
Linux is a learning curve.
I love DSL, I do not need a million programs (regular size distro.) DSL is plenty to grasp.

Desert island programs.
8 or 10 (army stylie.)
Need;
Text editor.
Word processor.
Spreadsheets.
Graphics programme.
PDF reader.
CD, SVCD (important,) DVD player.
Browser.
Burner.
Image viewer.
10 ?

I judge, best books.
Visual quickpro/quickstart guides, Peachpit Press.
Bernard Babani books. (damn excellent.)
Bible, Wiley.

I wish I could purchase a DSL Visual Quickpro Guide right now (somebody write that book, make good money.)

I would like to believe, the present, the future, elementary Linux (keywords: learning curve,) DSL yes, regular distro no - too much.

Do you get what I am saying.
Love and Light, AndyP.
Debate.

I agree with you that I dont need most of the stuff that comes with a larger more bloated distro, not to mention it wont run on the two machines I have dsl running on. I am also pretty new to linux and am finding that there is more than enough to learn. Does anyone have any favorite websites/books to help facilitate the learning curve??

ISBN;
0201354373 or 032121918X (applicable to all Linux.)
0859344703 (EXCELLENT.)
085934486X (forget about this one.)
Best Regards, AndyP.

Like adssse suggested, please, somebody suggest websites.
Do you get what we are saying.

Example; I've just installed DSL today. God Knows, how many days (would take rookies weeks,) it will take me to remove SOME of the icons off the desktop.

Love and Light, AndyP., and Very Best Regards, to everybody.

Got (by keyword search,)
'Adding or Changing Icons,' from DSL Documentation Project.
ThankYou username Saidin Unleashed.
