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).

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