<p dir="ltr">Your best bet would be to do some reading. there's plenty of Howtos out there that explain basic tasks. Linux, as you may have guessed, isn't Windows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I know this sounds like I'm trying to fob you away, but your best tool is to READ then DO. If you are committed to running a node, and you don't hose it at least once, seriously, you're not trying hard enough :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">I can be a bit pedantic because I've been playing with Linux and Solaris since 1999, but I assure you, I started where you are too, and patience and perseverance always wins out. Before that I trained on System 6 and MSDOS. And I've been playing with computers - especially obsolete ones - since I was 8 (in 1992). You always know you've learned too much when you can fix a 20 year old computer with bubble gum and prayer :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, for you: Google "Linux System Administration Howto." Read it, then come back to us. Good luck and best wishes in your journey! I hope to hear you on the airwaves soon!</p>

I don't know how to work this download.I have acid install instructions, but they do not help. Do I type in the password and hit enter ? I don't know what to do.I am trying to put together an allstar node. I have the usb fob, I have the radio, I have a computer, I have a node number and I d number, and the instructions I'm getting are not helping and nobody has been able to answer my questions.
