Linux
by Frank Robinson
I became interested in using Linux in 1997, after I heard a friend talking about it. I picked up a book that had Slackware Linux in it, and it was not too, too difficult to install. However, when it came to the X-window system, it was impossible. I am not an OS-guru, and back then I was even less knowledgeable. As I began to talk to others, they laughed and said it was a "real bear". I am interested in making Linux more accessible to average people (i.e. non-programmers) because I think it could benefit so many who just need a good, reliable tool to work with, and don't want to spend their lives tinkering with their computer.

- Many Linux distributions (and parts) are available to download via FTP at "The Sunsite".
- You can telnet to some sites, such as this one.
- There are many newsgroups dealing with all aspects of Linux. Try comp.os.linux.setup or comp.os.linux.advocacy.

Graphic images abound in the Linux world.
Here is one.
