Welcome to my world of Linux! I have been working with computer for 8 years. The first computer experience I had was with the Commodore 64 system. I started learning GW basic programming in 1994 - 1996 when I studied for my G.E.D. diploma.  My first learned about Linux from a friend who custom built computers by order. At that time you had to be a IT Professional to handle the strain or the main stream Unix commands.

   There are many different distributions of Linux in the computer world and for those of you that are beginners, I would advise you to start with one of the most commonly used distributions. My first choice is Redhat and my second is Mandrake. Now you don't have to worry about language support because the makers thought about you and others in the world. Both distributions mentioned above have their software in almost all the main stream languages.

   I have worked with both Mandrake and Redhat and have had trouble with both. you can find more information about the distributions by using the links from the menu on the left.
