Do you need to learn the Unix operating system for work or for school? Linux allows you to do this on an inexpensive personal computer. Textbooks are a bit lengthy and intimidating, so I'm going to try to give some hints on the most frequently used Linux commands and features.
While dual-boot systems are the cheapest way to install Linux, while (hopefully) retaining your old operating system, this is also technically the most difficult. The most reliable way to use more than one operating system on a computer is to use a removable boot hard drive. That way you can dedicate one drive exclusively to Linux, and one to another operating system such as OS-2, Novell, or Windows.
If you really have a need for a PC running Linux, dedicate one computer just for that purpose. You will find that any 486 and up you may still have is adequate for text only installations, and that a Pentium I runs the X-Window System graphical interface fine, although a bit slow. One trick for systems with less than 32 Megs of RAM is to set one virtual desktop instead of the default of 4. |

I have also presented some ideas on other computer and internet topics on my personal geocities page. The latest topic is digital photography and transferring files too large for e-mail attachments. |
