Motivation

If you really want to learn Linux you have to run it yourself and experiment with the commands presented here. So you need to get your Linux first. This is a bit of a chicken-and-egg type problem, since it would be good if you already know about Linux before you install it. Luckily most Linux distributions are easy to install with a menu that guides you through the installation process.

Still there are some topics that you should know about:

  • Where could you run your Linux? and
  • Which Linux Distribution to choose.

Where to run your Linux

If you do not have a Linux system yet, here are some options where you could install it:

Where to run your Linux
Old Laptop or Desktop PC
Maybe you have an old PC that you do not use any more and that is not strong enough for windows. If you only want it as a server and you do not need any GUI it can be a really old system.
Dual-booting your Desktop PC
