    So I plan on installing Linux soon and dual-booting Win7 too.I have to setup my build environment for android:
    http://source.android.com/download

    The thing is I currently don't know much about Linux and the commands that are used.

    If you google around you'll find guides.

    Do you really want to use Android? What you're proposing to do is much harder than installing a 'proper normal' version of linux.

    No,I wont be installing to my Pc, but to design apps I want to use Linux.Unfortunately Win7 is unable to see certain formats including EXT, I don't need help with dual-booting.

    heh...as a Linux user and Android user the commands are generally the same - Android is based off the Linux kernel remember so you should already have somewhat of a head start since you want to code for Android....

    Failing that plenty of reading here:

    http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/index.html

    and here:

    http://ss64.com/bash/

    and learn how to use Google (not being smart, but its the best help for any Linux user period if you can find things out for yourself)
