How to Learn Linux - Part I
The first step to learning Linux is actually installing it. There are some pre-requisites to installing it yourself, as there would be with installing any operating system: you need some computer know-how. You need to know things like what a hard-drive is. Same for drivers, although installing drivers is quite a different thing in Linux than in Windows.
You also need a desire to do it. Maybe it is curiosity about Linux itself, or maybe it is a desire to learn about it in order to do a job that uses Linux a lot like a network/systems admin.
The desire can't really be, "I'll learn Linux because it is the next big thing!" No, Linux is not the next big thing. I don't think you'll be able to make millions through Linux. Linux has this whole open-source thing going that sees ownership and property as damage, and routes its way around it. People have not been successful at selling Linux (at least not by selling it directly), and I highly doubt you will too.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
