On editing: You've used notepad on Winders?
http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/vi/ref.html  is a Vi command reference.
http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/intro.html is a Vim command reference.
http://camden-www.rutgers.edu/UNIXhelp/pico/ref.html  reference for pico, which should be on most 
Debian systems.  I may be confusing myself with nano, but pico is dead easy and my favorite.  I 
like being able to move around w/ cursor/arrow keys.
http://cip.physik.uni-freiburg.de/cgi-bin/info2www?(nano)  here's one on nano, which is similar to 
nano.
http://www.pointandclicklinux.com/node/view/27  has some info on using kwrite, but the screenshots 
haven't been added yet.  It's from a book in progress that I'm looking forward to.  All about Linux 
migration.  It would be one that I could point people to and say, get this.  

This link has a syllabus for a class on transitioning to Linux.  
http://www.granneman.com/teaching/fvwindowstolinux/archives/spr03syllabus.htm   There are a lot of 
valuable tutorial links on there.  Anything from IBM is very clear and easy to use.  The originator 
of Gentoo, Daniel Robbins, wrote much of the howto docs on the IBM site.

There is a pretty good book by Marcel Gagne, a writer for Linux Journal, called Moving to Linux: 
Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye.  http://www.marcelgagne.com/

Chew on that.  My head hurts.  I guess the alcohol hasn't worn off yet.

"add the KDEDIR environment variable, you need to edit your /etc/profile 
( or ~/.bash_profile ) and add the line:

export KDEDIR="/usr"

...where /usr is your KDE's base directory.

Now, change the present working directory to the location where you 
unarchived Knights and type the following:

% ./configure
% make
% make install"

This sounds easy enough, but I have no experience with editing (I am a 
candidate for Jason's Communiversity class).

Any advice on a newbie-friendly tutorial on the subject?
