This is what I'm using....don't know if it's basic enough.

 

This is where I started. Short of reading everything you can find and downloading the iso, installing a distro and taking things from there, I don't know of a quick way to learn Linux (or any other system). Maybe others have different ideas. In any case, good luck, and enjoy yourself.


Edit: first time I've seen that particular link, Zoid. Thanks.


Edit, Pt II:

Please see above.

 

thank you Mr.theZoid

but what's the big deal with Linux? with respect to Windows for eg.

 

thank you. what way do you advice me is the quickest way to learn Linux

 

its different. it is open source, its not windows.

try ubuntu, very user friendly and easy to use.

 

It's free, different, fun to learn - usually, doesn't require anywhere near the safety precautions needed with Windows, and it's free (lol).

 

thank you, what do you mean not like windows, why use Linux if i know windows.

 

I can do what i want with windows, but what can linux offer me. you all say different, but plz what's the difference?

 

Don't know how to say it in a clearer way - it's different. Try reading this thread (especially the first link); it may help clarify for you.

 

everything about it is different, THAT IS the reason you would use it, because you are sick of the norm. why get a new car, why cheat on your wife, why eat different foods, because you want something different.

 

good info, really.
