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)
