Voyager02 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The last time i tried Linux, 4-5yrs ago i could not get anywhere as i didn't know how to install things or get anything setup. That was in Mandrake which was meant to be easier. My main problem was getting anything installed, drivers/software. I didn't know how to type the code to get things installed. So can you point me in the right direction as i would really like to learn Linux. Would your Shift Linux be a good place to start. As i kinda like Neowin and have been telling friends about it.

Iian K Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ubuntu, Freespire, Maybe Shift would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted January 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 24, 2008 Shift will be a good start... soon. 0.6 is going to be pretty solid, but 0.5 can't be installed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 24, 2008 A lot has changed (and improved! ) in the past 4-5 years! I would recommend Ubuntu as a good general "learners" distro. And I don't mean it is limited in any way, just because it is easy to pick up and use. It is still full-bred Linux. Shift is recently based off of Ubuntu, so should carry the same positive traits.
