Linux Challenge For 'Real' Beginner
I don't have experience in Linux and my first impression about Linux was VERY DIFFICULT! Although, the community and experts are very helpful, quite a number of times I felt that the answers given was for someone who isn't so newbie/novice/beginner.
How newbie I am?
- I have knowledge in networking
- I have knowledge in VMplayer
- I know few Linux commands such as pwd, ls, cp, mv, rm, mkdir, ifconfig, find ... ( anyway, anyone could find these commands with google )
- I have no idea of Linux filesystem & boot process
- I know all in Linux are 'files'
Moral of the story
..installation completed successfully for a noob :-)..
