Typing "startx" should get you going. However, you must have the GUI
installed, stuff like X or KDE or Gnome. Did you opt for a server install and
left them out?

You are in linux; just not in GUI mode. You PC managed to boot up right? You
should be able to read the help files in command line; try "cat <filename>"
or "less <filename>", and you can read the help files.

You'll get the mail individually, rather than in "digest" form where all the
mail are consolidated in one.
Please let the list know more details of your install. Things like your
settings, what install you chose, what steps you took.
Don't worry about newbie mistakes; that's how we all learn.
