It's a good thing you put this as question #1, because this really is 
the first thing you need to learn (at the very *least* on a rudimentary 
level). To answer: Google yer arse off. There are countless sites out 
there that can help you out there (as well as confuse you to no end). 
Here's a couple of links to get you on the road:
	<http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/index.ws>
This site is Maccentric, but kinda holds your hand through the 
transition between GUI to CLI and the commands are essentially the same.
	<http://www.linux.org/lessons/index.html>
This is where I began my journey with Linux commands last year. Nice, 
light tutorial.

There is also a YDL FAQ community driven (the folks from the mailing 
lists) site that addresses most issues you will encounter and will help 
you straighten out the learning curve:
	<http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/start>
hit the links for "Moving from Mac to Linux" and "Learning More" for 
good references.

Really, to get MOL up and running, you need some CLI background. 
Basically (for some reason) 3.0.1 came with a kernel (2.4.22-2f) that is 
incompatible with the 0.9.69 Mol modules. You'll need too upgrade the 
kernel to the 2.4.22-2g version. This will be using 'yum'. You can catch 
  this info by searching the mailing list archives from the top right on 
any YDL page (this is a much revisited topic) and from the FAQ site I 
gave you above.
