Real physical use is the best way to learn:

Hi,
I would start by booting from the live-CD then you can try it out
without making any changes to your computer, you’ll find you can do most
things with the GUI and it’s very intuitive.
When you want to learn the command line, there is a good resource

Hi guys!
thanks for all your responses, i really appreciate it!
I kinda can make my way around it ,but i would like to learn the CLI (terminal),like when it comes to installing drivers i really struggle. by the way is there anyway to install the driver through GUI like yast?
guys again excuse my arrogance I’m really new to this!
Thanks
This all GUI, well mostly, there are options for CLI, just in case…
NVIDIA - openSUSE

Hi,
I’d just like to point but you’re not being arrogant, maybe you meant
ignorant?
Anyway, we all started by knowing nothing, but through daily use of
Linux, reading the forums, searching the web, etc… we learn more
everyday.
When learning the cli, there are two major resources you should utilise:
*man (type man ‘command’)
*–help most programs take help as an argument and display correct
usage
If you check out the openSUSE Wiki (there is a link on the left), you
will find some useful information there too.

yeah Barry thats probably what I meant at the time.
once again thanks guys,i found all the sources really helpful.
just one quick question ,are all the commands the same in different versions off linux (i understand that some softwares or drivers could use proprietary commands)??
Cheers
Nino
Generally, no. Linux is linux is linux. But, some ‘commands’ you find on some others may be programs used in one distro but not in others.
Example: to install the program AAAA-1.2 would look like this:
apt-get install AAAA (on Ubuntu for example)
zypper in AAAA (on openSUSE )
yum install AAAA
So, different programs, different commands.
I found this to be helpful as well.
