Jander Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Okay, I'm not an idiot...just a person who has grown too comfortable with drag-and-drop, etc. So, I guess what I mean to say is, can I install it easily, go in and just get back to life (except a lot more stable) on the pc? Or do I have to learn/re-learn commands ( ) and other such things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaspaz Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 uh...if someone like me can install, configure, and use linux, so can you. especially with the help of the peeps here who have and are using linux right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Of course you can install and use linux! It may not be as easy as windows at first, you will have to learn your way around, but it isn't that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmgirl Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 What I did was buy a few books, and read up first, so I wouldn't jump in totally blank. Example- you could buy Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible for $34.99 from Amazon and it comes with the cds to install it. There's alot of info out there, just keep in mind it's not hard, just different. Anyone can learn it, if they're willing to give it a fair try. As for programs, you'll find tons of them come with a linux distro. Plus, there's alot of point and click anymore. It doesn't hurt to know a few commands, but you don't half to be some programmer and have encyclopedic knowledge of codes and commands to run linux like some people think. Just do a little research, and see if it interests you to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaspaz Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 you could buy Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible for $34.99 from Amazon and it comes with the cds to install it. or if you got the cds already and just want a red hat bible you could download one from here for free. it's the red hat linux 7.2 bible but i don't think a lot is different between 7.2 and 7.3 as i've used the 7.2 bible to figure stuff out on 7.3. The Red Hat Linux 7.2 Bible just right click on the link and choose the save target as option (or something like that) in the context menu.
