Tools Brand new user!

Hi everyone!!! Smilie
I just want to say that I'm a new user of Unix, about 6 weeks. I'm taking a Programming and Logic course at a school in New York State, and we use Unix to operate Emacs, our code editor. I'm also taking a course called Unix Operating System. To be perfectly honest, I don't really understand everything, but I'm having fun learning!!! For my Unix class, we have to write a paper on 5 Unix resources and tell how we think they will help the average user learn about the Unix Operating System. So far, I think this is a great site because I can read about other peoples' experiences, not just commands out of a textbook. Drop me a line, I would write to you, but I dont know how!! (Yet!!!!)

Another question!!!!

I don't know why I can't send PMs to anyone off my buddy list or Emails to anyone from their profile. I haven't talked to anyone yet, and this is only the second message I've posted, so I don't know if it's because I haven't talked to anyone yet, or what. Because I just got random handle names and email addresses from clicking and reading previous posts. Please someone get back to me! Thanks!1

Suggest you read the rules of the forum here and then you will start to understand.

And welcome to the world of UNIX.

Welcome to our forums! Smilie

I have merged your two threads into one.

RTM was right to refer you to our rules. But the rules were moved to the "Unix for Dummies Questions and Answers" forum. Click here to see them. And you should read the discussions of the rules in the rules forum as well.

Private Messaging has been disabled. Email to users should be possible, but each user must enable this. Even if it is enabled, email should be used very sparingly, if at all. As per our rules, the intent is public Question and Answer so that other folks with the same problems can also view what's being discussed. We are always glad to see newcomers studying unix. But there are thousands of students who are starting to study unix and who are just as enthusiastic as you. We cannot accept private email from all of them.

And finally remember that our rules prohibit us from doing your homework for you.

Sorry to be a drag and bring up all these rules, but it's part of my job as a moderator. Smilie
