So in basic terms it teaches you how to use commands and etc. A preparation for higher Linux systems! Make sense?

Replies climber783 Posted at 1:20 am on April 6, 2008 I recommend LinuxMint.  It's basically the same as Ubuntu, but with more video/audio codecs already installed, making it very easy to use for beginners.  And it uses all the Ubuntu programs, so there is a wide variety of resources available. Cisza Posted at 10:59 pm on April 5, 2008 Go with ArchLinux. You get to build it how you like, while learning Linux and keeping it simple. There's good documentation in their wiki and forums if you get confused. http://www.archlinux.org/ climber783 Posted at 12:44 am on Mar. 31, 2008 Ubuntu is pretty easy for new users.  And in response to jamescoleman...the newest version of Ubuntu has support for ntfs without any addons.  So if you have a dual boot computer with windows and a linux distro, you can access your windows files through ubuntu. jamescoleman Posted at 9:33 am on Mar. 8, 2008 ohhh also make sure it support ntfs. it'll have ntfs-3g or something else in it. so you can write to the filesystem. Egodeus59 Posted at 9:11 am on Mar. 8, 2008 I'd defiantly start with Knoppix, it runs right off the CD so you don't have to go through the install which can be a bitch if you've never done it before, plus you can't really screw anything up that bad. Aftalia Posted at 9:08 am on Mar. 8, 2008 Ubuntu is good jamescoleman Posted at 9:08 am on Mar. 8, 2008 linux is an operating system futuremodelcandance. try downloading suse linux, ubuntu, or slaxware (live cd versions). burn it to a cd from the .iso file. buy a linux book and read it. or you could go online and learn that way. everyone prefers a different distro of linux (i'm down with ubuntu ultimate and suse linux) Keego05 Posted at 9:03 am on Mar. 8, 2008 Start with Ubuntu and get a Knoppix live disc. Knoppix is really good.
