Welcome to the forums Beccabeck

Here's a starting point: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...ser-guide.html

In general, check around the red Stickies at top of forum sections. They have answers to the most commonly asked questions. Many stickies link to other related ones from other sections.

Oh & don't forget we have some fun sections on the forums, such at the image caption contest (you may be the first & only entrant for this month if fast enough lol) & the arcade.
