Hi Erik,

I agree; I'd recommend getting used to operating your new Unix environment
first.  After you feel more comfortable with your environment, then go for
Python.  Trying to learn both at the same time might be counterproductive,
especially in the presense of mistakes.  If things go wrong, you'll want
to know if you're looking at a Unix error or a Python one.

You can find KDE user documentation here:

    http://docs.kde.org/
    http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/index.html


When you feel comfortable enough with your environment, then you can find
good starting points for learning Python here:

Yes, Python has an interactive prompt.  If you do have a console handy,
type 'python' and see if something comes up.


Best of wishes to you!
