user migrating over from windows - need system details
I have read thru the
1) documentation for 10.04LTS,
2) it's online desktop guide, and
3) quite a bit of the server guide (I need to go back and some sections in more detail, but I've scanned most of it)
Is there anything that discusses the entire file structure, and it's dynamics?
for example, I followed some instructions today to setup some touchscreen drivers to
a)automagically load, and
b)setup the configuration/
1)by creating some directories
2)copying files (needed to be told about "gksudo nautilus" to access root owned portions of the file system)
3) running some scripts
4) adding commands to some other system scripts (the touchscreen setup instructions led me thru some scripting using the rc.# folders, adding some command lines to some other scripts, and such...)
without being led by the nose by the instructions, and some great responses by folks here, I would not have been have been successful...
man pages are great, if you have an idea of what you are looking for, but I'm not there yet
what I am looking for I guess is a better understanding of how file system structures fit, and how the system works, so I can grasp it better, and not be a burden to all the sharp folks providing support here
do I need to go back to the Debian docs, or is there something else I should go thru?
thanks very much
