Thank you to everyone that replied to my message. To be honest I was expecting a few crude remarks and people telling me to just give up but I do appreciate the feedback and am going to just continue to read as much as i can about how things work and what these commands all mean.

Again thanks for understanding where im coming from and the support. Any idea on a web site that i could go to and learn more about the programs and terms that could benafit me with my n810? I dont have anything else running linux and dont really intend on getting something but I do want to know all that i can about the n810. I work with windows and a couple of Macs with OS X but mostly image editing and page layout programs. Not with developing and/or programing.

Again thanks to all
