Theirs really nothing for me to learn about Windows XP Pro. What am i
suppose to do? Play with the Cmd? What can i do to manage and to get more
knowledge about computers in order to become elite and to use Linux? The
only reason why i want to use Linux is to get rid of Microsoft for starters
and to start devloping some knowledge about computers.
