Linux- Who wants to learn?

Dippyskoodlez · Jan 17, 2006

Alright.. I'm going to start a "linux for dummys article"..

I've searched far and wide and always and still have had a hard time learning WTF i'm doing, so now that I have my footing started, I'd like to make an article documenting my experiences and troubles and wanna know if any linux guru's around here would be interested in commenting and/or helping not only teach me a little along the way, but help me write an article that can result to be very useful to the community

Hmm... I'll probably start with a "Intro to linux" then branch it off...

I'm going to start learning Linux when I finnally get my new HDD. I don't have enough space to play around with it right now.

naseltzer · Feb 20, 2006

would love to learn linux

can anyone recommend a good linux learning kit...like with a book, a cd with a good noob version of linux, etC?

You can buy retail versions with customer support. But it is cheaper to download the OS, then go to your local book store and buy a instructional book on Linux. You know, like $10-$25 for a book as opposed to ~$55-$99+ for a retail OS.

Only two more days 'till I get my 250 gig. Then the Linux fun begins.

I imagine, I'll become a pretty frequent poster on this section of the forum.

Once you have ati drivers or nvidia drivers working correctly, I hear wine, wocraft III, diablo, CS, and quite a few others are working under wine.. winehq website has a big compatability list.

Solaris17 · Feb 24, 2006
