> Its difficult and inefficient to just google every term/acronym I don't know. Hackers love acronyms, I don't mind them unless there is ambiguity (I haven't yet come across any). A couple of years back I was in the same situation as yourself, when I bagged my first laptop. The only advice I can give you regarding getting to grips with computers is to focus on one subject at a time (which is easier said than done, especially if you get lost in the myriad of wikipedia articles). A few weeks ago I lost my desktop (I run ubuntu), and could only access the system through terminal. Luckily I knew enough about using the command line to find a solution (I think I typed in sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop). Sooner or later knowledge of little use becomes vital.
