What we will learn today ?




  • Basic concepts of GNU/Linux
  • Installing a GNU/Linux distribution





    OK Let`s jump in

    Basics



    • What is Linux really ?
    • What is distribution ?
    • What distribution should I choose ?
    • How GNU/Linux differ from Windows ?
    • What is this 'root' thing ?
    • Ok, is there any thing else I should know?

    What is Linux ?


    Linux Is just a Kernel

    Simply it is a layer between applications
     and hardware

    You probably don't need to know about
    Kernel

    So is that enough for an operating system ?

    What is a "Distribution"?


    Distribution is Software collection packaged 
    with an operating system

    What does a distribution contains ?

    Some distributions:
    Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and etc

    What distribution should I choose ?





    It`s totally up to you

    The difference

    Think of GNU/Linux as a "Bugatti"
    (Of course open source "Bugatti" :P)


    Think of MS Windows as a 57th "Paykan"


    Now you get it, don't you ?

    The difference




    • You can't learn GNU/Linux by just fooling around
    • GNU/Linux doesn't have "drives"
    • GNU/Linux doesn't have an "Start Menu"
    • GNU/Linux have lots of graphical environments
    • You can have an alternative for everything
    • And lots of other differences 

    What is this 'root' thing ?


    • Root is refer to the partition which Linux is installed into
    • Root partition addressed by '/'
    • It`s difference thant `root` user
    • Unix like operating systems have a hierarchy 
      structure (like tree)
    • "Root" is the root of the big tree
    • Other part of system (e.g other partitions) mount
      on branches of tree

    What else ?


    Linux is not Windows

    Don't use it like windows

    Don't learn it like windows

    Always read the ****** manual

    And don't use Window$   :)) 
    (just kidding do what you want)





    Installation

    Important notes


    Make sure WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

    Free up space before start the installation

    Create a swap partition equal or twice the size
    of your memory
