    Well you can get a Linux Mint user guide from here:

    http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

    Linux Mint 7 Gloria is the current "stable version" while 8 is (RC) basically in beta testing stages.

    From the linux I have used so far it they are very straightforward and have most of the features you could want from an OS for a working system, not that great for gaming.

    Linux Mint has media players as well so can play almost anything you want (Video and Audio).

    I'm a n00b as well trying to learn. Positive and encouraging inputs from your end will keep me/us motivated.
    Just a thought :)

    It was also help if you mentioned the distro and version you are running. All distros are not the same.

    I do suggest Linux Mint I mentioned above as I took it for a few hour spin yesterday and was very impressed.
