Exactly, accessing thru the Terminal will get me into the unix environment. But quite habitually, I tend to switch back to the user interface for my daily chores. That is a problem for me, as a beginner.

Thanks zazzybob and phobos for the links, as i am writing, i am downloading YDL 4.0 -Orion installer (4 CD). Have read from its forum that many had glitches while installing them. Let's see how mine goes...
