# B. Notes on Using Linux

Question - I'm new to Linux, could you explain it a bit to a Windows-user who has been using ``point and click'' -method ?

Answer - Point and click is a common affliction. Command lines do not take much more effort at the level we need you to use them but I'll describe the point-and-click methods with the KDE desktop first then move into a description of the text mode.
