the info is there, you just have to be patient, don't
expect it to come overnight, don't expect it to work like
MS products. Drivers are annoying, granted, but even that's
changing as vendor support increaes. Go to redhat.com, use
their search engine. Ask in comp.os.linux.misc or maybe
another linux newsgroup. You gotta tap into the linux community.
I used to be a comp.os.linux.misc reg but quit reading it
because they ask/answer too many practical, configuration
specific questions such as the one you're asking, so there you go..
There are alot of smart people there who know all these
different, mundane things.

The emacs documentation is very very comprehensive.
You should be able to follow the tutorial no problem;
type ^H-t (ctrl-h then 't'), that's the tutorial; it's
far better than the vi tutorial, no joke.
One of the MAIN reasons I'm an emacomaniac is the documentation.
Just type ^H-i (ctrl-h then 'i'), and you'll find a VAST
amount of information. You'll be swimming in info. And the
GNU docs are generally very well written. Just take it slow
and easy. If you have troubles with a command, ask here cause
I'll answer if I can. Impractical esoterica, that's what I'm
best at. I was a physicist, after all.. :)

While the brown ale he quaffed,
Loud then the champion laughed,
And as the wind-gusts waft
The sea-foam brightly,
So the loud laugh of scorn,
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking-horn
Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
