In truth it wasn't designed for people to learn linux.  It has an easy 
interface, designed for people who just want to browse the web, write an 
email or a letter, listen to an mp3 or play a game.  It's laid out in tabs, 
Internet, Work, Learn, Play, Settings, Favorites.  It's great for its 
intended purpose.  If you want to learn linux you need the 'full desktop', 
and the wiki tells you how to do that.  More of that if/when you are ready 
for it, Ken.

There is no K menu in the default display.  The easiest way is to use hidden

key shortcut of Ctrl-Alt-T to get up a terminal (called konsole) and then to

type kcontrol.

It is indeed, but now I see what Ken's problem is.  In kmail it says 
that "ISpell/Aspell could not be started. Please make sure you have ISpell  
or Aspell properly configured and in your PATH".

mlocate is not an installed package, which makes searching harder.  On this 
laptop 'locate ispell' points to

locate ispell
/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/ispell
/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant_ispell.so
/usr/lib/kde3/kspell_ispell.la
/usr/lib/kde3/kspell_ispell.so
/usr/share/services/kspell_ispell.desktop

I would have thought that they were being called by kmail, so not required
to 
be in my $PATH.  On the EeePC there are directories called /usr/lib/aspell 
and /usr/lib/ispell.  However, they don't appear to have files matching mine

above.

I suspect that this is going to need taking to the EeePC User forum, Default

Xandros Linux, http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewforum.php?id=2

There's some good helpful people there.  The other site you should bookmark
is 
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/

Hope that helps

Anne
