Default ARP's Linux Noob Guide Posted!
For many newbies, Linux is an exciting but daunting operating system to learn. So flexible and powerful but yet alien to a new generation pampered by graphical user interfaces.

In that light, we present the first part of our Linux Noob Guide. Let djspinnet guide you on your first step in Linux!

Will future articles include information on how to install Linux on your pc? I am familiar with the unix environment, but I'm a total noob on how to install it (i.e. what distro to use, how to install it in a computer with Windows already installed, etc.)

Yes, I totally agree. May be this article should assume that readers hv zero knoledge abt Linux (incidentally, I'm one).
After reading your article,my impression is that you r teaching me the variou function of a Ferrari when I hv no idea of the setout and various buttons in it !!

That might be difficult, because there are just so many Linux distros around, but I'll see what I can work out

To tell you the truth, most modern distros now have a nice graphical step by step installer.

The kind where you click "next, next, next" - ok, something like that.

Alot of the preinstallation settings you need to fill in are very much self-explanatory, or well-explained in the installer itself.

Yes i totally agree that Gnome is better...it is faster and less bloodier than KDE
