Learning Linux - help


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
