It always helps if you provide some basic system information and what
you are having problems with when you post questions to the news groups.
That info helps us to provide better examples/responses.
Which window manager, they have different icons and file access locations.
There are several "linuxes": Red Hat, Slackware, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake,
Caldera, Corel, Yellow Lab, Black Lab, WinLinux, PhatLinux, Linux On A
Floppy, slinux, Trinux, and
(Rock, Armed, Stampede, Tiny. Power, Coyote) Linux
Always provide what distro and release level you are using
when you post questions (Redhat 6.1, Suse 5.0,..).
Different distros have different commands, files, and links to
files. Even happens between release levels of the same distribution.
Internet connection problem (ISP, cable, adsl, PPPoE, LAN, dialup, eth0. USB..)
If dhcp, which client (pump, dhcpcd, dhclient,...)
Firewall (Bastille, Tiny,..) , which type ipchains, iptables,...
Window manger problem/question/application give the name
(gnome, kde, sawmill, kscd, kmix, eroaster, ...) Different
window managers can have different programs.
Give us error messages if you have them.
Look in your logs, /var/log/messages on Redhat and Mandrake.
If it is a shell/script question, give the shell name (bash, tch, zch,...)
