How do I learn Linux

Name: Anonymous 2006-03-28 20:22

For one who has never touched Linux, how do you learn and how long does it take to become comfortable?

Yes, I know, I'm just putting that out there so this guy doesn't put something important on there off the break. Nothing like seeing that you just nuked your hard-drive with gigs and gigs of downloaded and alphabetized porn never to be seen again.

Um, They are fucking harder than windows, and Linux is waaaaay more convoluted than what was done with OS X, believe that.

I hate windows to death but I know that it is far easier to use than Linux is. Walking into UNIX without some knowledge is asking for some trouble. One wrong command line or one necessary file out of place, say goodbye to a working os and hello to a re-install. I should know, I use a UNIX based OS.

Using Linux, or any UNIX based OS, without knowledge is like walking through a minefield without a mine detector. With knowledge, a user can own unparalleled.

if you really want to learn linux, i recommend lfs  (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org).  if you can get it working, you'll know pretty much everything you'll ever /need/ to know, and be able to figure out the rest easily enough.  if you can't get it working, you'll get the opportunity to try it all over again.  fun!

of course, this assumes you have the patience to catalogue all your hardware, follow lots of instructions and compile everything from source.  if you can't stomach anything without shiny menus and someone else to do all the work, just pick a distro and install it.  they're all pretty much the same when you're just starting out.

They're only harder if you're incompetant. Also, I should know as well, because I use a UNIX-based OS. I doubt this user is going for a fucking command line OS or some shit anyway, they'll probably end up with SUSe OSS or something.

I'm comfortable on many popular OS'es, tho there's still some I want to try out like Irix. Dang SGI machines are sooo expensive...

Last I checked, lack of knowledge=incompetent. Notice, all I said was that the guy needs some knowledge before going into Linux

Definition of Incompetent:

incompetent |inˈkämpətənt; i ng-| adjective not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully

Just FYI...

>the guy needs some knowledge before going into Linux

Not really. Everyone I know who uses Linux (including myself) just installed it and figured things out as they went. You'd be surprised how little you really need to touch the command line when you aren't trying to do obscure things.

You CAN learn that way, it's just not efficient to do so. I mean, I don't even really need GUI if I know the command lines. Playing around with it just builds a dependacy on GUI by itself.

>>50

Fucking make me.

I happen to think that using stuff without knowing enough about it is a bad idea,  >>1 did the right thing by asking questions. I wish more people knew to read the instruction manual before using. So, don't get all pissy at me over this shit.

I'm not paying for it, I just got a new 30" HD monitor and have a distinct lack of cash. <Insert second sentence of your post here.>

Well you can still give me your e-mail. That way, you'll still have the adress in case you find yourself in the neighbohood. It's been a looong time since somebody tried to shut me the fuck up. I can wait a little longer...

Hey, guy wants to come shut me up, I'd like to see that. I think it would be fun. I'm tired of kicking this local ass, I want something imported.

>>61

I'm not the one who asked for a home address, the other guy did. He wants my address, he needs to post his e-mail and pay for his own keg of whoops. I have the tap ready and everything. I was asked for an address, I asked for a E-Mail in return so I can give an address. If guy is too pussy to give E-Mail, it kinda ends there, with him bitching out.

Seems I must keep waiting for someone to shut me the fuck up.

Well fuck you bitches then.

You want some too? Being nigga haters and all, I know you'd jump at the chance. There's plenty of free hurt to go around. You'll probably have to form a line, no pushing, everybody get's a turn.

I'll go tell the hospital and morgue to be ready to pull double shifts soon.
