I will warn you that TeamViewer might not work. We’ll have to switch to DameWare or something similar.

Anyway, if you stick with running your applications and using the window-based tools like a file manager you’ll be right at home. You’d have trouble trying to switch from the old DOS command line to the new Linux command line, but hopefully you weren’t dealing with keyboard-driven commands.

Side note: I worked for IDG for a while. They originally used the “for dummies” moniker while getting the books ready for publication with the expectation that marketing would come up with something better. It was believed nobody would buy a book for themselves that had “for dummies” in the title.

It’s one of the most successful book lines ever launched.

Go figure.

Since I’m not going to be switching the OS until I fully understand how it functions, I won’t worry about the TeamViewer, just yet.

I’m still having a slight problem with this thing, but I don’t know if it’s the computer or the website, but it’s not critical, just a nuisance.

I learned DOS years ago, and somewhere, I have all my notes and the book I had in class, so sometimes, I think of that...when I have to do the HTML posts.

I have always been a fan of the “For Dummies” books!
