Beginner Linux Tips
Recently the subject of beginners and Linux has come up here on TNL and I agreed to post a few thoughts on things people new to Linux may want to consider before striking out to find a distribution and installing it. Don't run away. This won't be full of techie jargon. First, I'm not a techie and second there is no need for the jargon.
1. Read, read, read and study what's available out there before choosing a distribution to install. Unlike Windows there is more than one choice. A good place to start is distrowatch, a sort of "news of what's new in Linux" site. You'll find a paragraph of discussion of many older releases as well as new ones.
