Linux Newbie...with some questions....

[david Bodman]

Greetings...

I've been monitoring the list for a while, and just yesterday created my
first Linux box from a Dell GX160 by putting Kubuntu on it...

I've had some Unix experience a long time ago, but nothing with Linux.

Install seemed to go fine, it's up and running, but I'm running into bunches
of things I don't understand yet....

1. I'm trying to modify the screen resolution. It's only giving me options
of 640x480, when I know my video card, etc can go much higher. Help file
talks about an Administrator Mode button, but I don't see that anywhere on
the app... I'm confused!

2. I've tried to set up  the email package (Kmail) to work IMAP with Gmail,
but it keeps on complaining that I don't have an address defined, and I
don't see where you tell Kmail to sned or receive from the host service.

Any Kubuntu gurus about that could give me some pointers??

David
