Newbie at mandrake

Just installed mandrake 9.1 and I've Some questions
I'm using a KDE interface

First: How do I shut down the computer when I'm finished, there seems to be only a log out option.

How do I configure it to access the internet. I'm using an external ADSL connection, and I can't get the thing to connect. I've gone through the standard wizard in mandrake control centre, but apart for that it won't work

I'm hoping to use Mandrake for some low level programming, and I wanted to use a text editor like bb edit lite (what I'm used to) what editor would be most like this in mandrake.

I've played around with the themes for awhile and they seem very nice, anyone know where I could pick up some more KDE themes.

A beginners guide to mandrake would be handy, if someone could provide a copy.

Sorry wrong forum, could someone move this to unix/ thanks.

A list of log-out options should come up when you press 'log-out'. One of the options is 'Turn of Computer'.

For the best editor open a terminal and type 'vim'.

Vim's just a wee bit complicated for a newbie, DBC.

Try emacs or Nedit.
