[wellylug] I have installed Linux Mandrake 9.1, Now what?

[Ricardo Gomez]

Hello there

I want to give Linux a try, the problem is that I have
no clue how to start. I installed mandrake 9.1 and
apparently it was successful(thanks to the guy at
Massey's MUSAC who posted me the CDs. Please tell
where I should sent the blank CDs or the beer). The
problem is that I was expecting some sort of program
applications to work on -you know, an office suite, an
internet browser, something!)but there is only this
screen:

local host login: ricardo
[ricardo at localhost ricardo]$

I think I have to  type something after $ but what is
it? 

Is anyone out there who can meet with me to sort this
out? 

Thanks for the cooperation

Ricardo
