[Lust] Linux

[tony.tibbenham at sonoco.com]

John,

There are lots of 'basic' guides to Linux.  It really depends what you
want.   A tutor?  An evening class?  A 'beginners guide'?

Compare Windows to Linux?  They are both capable of doing most things a
computer program can do if you throw enough expertise, money and time at
them.

Do something with a PC? [and you know nothing about Windows / Mac OS / Unix
/ BSD / Be / VMS / DOS ] etc. so at least do not have the 'old' way to
re-learn.

Start with completing the following question ...
"I want to ... "   then try googling, then try looking through relevant
post archives, then try posting a well structured question i.e.
I want to do X, I have tried doing A,B,C and this was the result (not X) ..
how do I achieve X?

googling is modern slang for 'use your favourite search engine to search
for an answer'.  It means, literally, go to www.google.co.uk and type your
question into the awating prompt.

"i want to know about linux" results in over 39 million pages returned.
Try refining your question.

Regards


Tony
