Edgy Penguins - "Linux for Non-Geeks" - How To's

Well, there are probably a few odds and ends that do not appear in the book - things that you want to do that require a bit more detail or hand holding. Maybe you want to pack your files onto a CD-R disc, but don't have a CD-R drive. Or maybe you want to create your own homepage with Mozilla composer, but you don't know what to do once you've opened the program. Well, on this page, I provide you with a series of how to's, mostly in PDF file format, that I've created for you to use. As time goes by, there should be more of these guides, so check back once in a while to see what's here.

Still, what is second-nature to some is often a mystery to others, compu-savvy or not. So, if you're a member of the latter group, read on, as in this handy PDF file I will tell you how to send and save attachments via Evolution, Mozilla Mail, and even with browser-based mail services, such as Hotmail and Yahoo.
