Hi Randy
Welcome to Linux the fun part is what you can/will learn about
computers.
 
To begin please take a look at http://www.linux.com/support/

For PPP setup with redhat 6.0 look at 
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/PPP-Client-Tips/PPP-Client-Tips.html

For reading CD ROM and floppy you need to give your self permission to
do so. Weird but true it is part of using a system that was designed for
networks and network security. The key will be to use Linuxconf to give
your self as a user (you have set up user shell account for your self?)
then you should be able to mount and use CD-ROM and Floppy disks.

Take your time do some reading most of what you find, will be very
cryptic at first but as you dig through, some of it will start to make
since. The best resource I have found is 
http://www.google.com/linux 
also the Redhat site is full of useful tips

It is tradition that you read the manuals first try something then ask
Questions about trouble spots or something that confuses you in the
manual (all the damm man pages confuse me) 

If you have trouble locating documents mail me off list and I will try
to help where I can.
