Linux Initialization Problem at the start

Hello
I bought a PC brand Acer Aspire M1201-BM7X AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 5000 + 2.6GHz 3072MB that I received yesterday.
This device comes with Linux software version 9.4. When I turn I, this is the message that appears:

(C) 1997-2008 Linpus Tecnhologie.Inc.All right reserved.
The complete license terms can be found in the root directory.
Please type "less / GPL" and "less / COPYRIGHT" to view.
You can type "online-update" to install X-Windows environment via the Internet.
Linpus Linux release 9.4
Kernel 2.6.25.4lp on an i686
VERSION = C080612-v1

Localhost login: root (automatic login)
Last login: sun Dec 30 06:50:54 on tty5
[root @ localhost] # _

I think we must enter a code to initialize the system. Someone canbody Tell me What do to ?

Hello rodney

I am Wondering That you Can be Asked for inserting the password- The manufacturer of your Computer Did not Guide about starting the Pc In worst case .. contacted the seller to have an explanation about this

The explanation is even written on the screen I quoted:

And it means that you tapes the word "root" immediately after "[root @ localhost] #" which gives

Code:

---

[root @ localhost] # root

You validate it by pressing <Enter> & roll cars.

Welcome to the Linux . Above all take your time to explore Linux. Your machine must have a lot of help file to read that are important.

It's not just that. The automatic login is root (as described) and you get a prompt console. Obviously the PC is not provided with an X server (GUI) and must enter online update to download from the Internet.

So this is what it takes to type: online-update

I once read a little fast text ...

It's a pity that finally appear machine with a Linux board, And that nothing is done to ensure that the OS is clearly used from the first ignition of the machine. Bizarre, while the only EeePC I've seen work (as I believe Linpus)
had the start of a GUI very telling for the new user.

My impression is that on the contrary, everything has been done to push the new user. Acer probably is not all that grease the leg by Microsoft ...

I have the same problem and I typed "root" and I presed enter and it sais: "sh: root: command not found"

What can I do, please help

Thanks

most probably, you have linux installed but, will accept only commands.
In order to ue the GUI form of linux you will have to load the X-Windows environment,
using the internet, you can at present still work on linux, but the only issue is , you will have to do it all commands.
try
the following commands:
man
apropos gedit

to launch text editor:
Type gedit

try
echo "hi there"

etc...
if these commands work, it means linux is console based on your system.
try connecting to th internet and do as directed, load x windows enviornment.
Also you may alternatively install ubuntu on your system.
hope this helps!

( if above command don't work , do
chsh user /bin/bash
then try commands again)
