Get into it? The login and password get you into to it, you most likely get
something like this:
[dfulton@vrealms linux]$
This is the linux prompt, if you see this, you are into it. There is no
"START" button or fancy menu, just a prompt. Which makes one think that the
computer is doing nothing, but  Linux is a Unix variant and is probably
doing a lot in the background. If you are in a GUI, try pushing the right
mouse button on a blank area on the screen, and if that doesn't work, the
left one. Also, get a book like Linux by O'reilly and Associates, this will
make the learning proccess easier. Lastly, learning Linux after running
windows is a bit like learning how to fly a 747 by yourself after flying a
cropduster. The cropduster is obviously easier to fly, but the 747 will get
you farther and get you there faster. Don't give up on Linux, set goals for
yourself. Like this month I am going to learn how my machine does what it
does on startup (incidentally that is a good place to start.)
