Linux Basics

I thought I knew something about Linux. All confident in my knowledge. But I didn't know Jack - still don't. But as I was reading the LPIC (Linux Professional Institute Certification) Study Guide I learned a lot. A LOT! Holy moly that book kicks ass. Now I just want to share a little of what I learned.

Well, my Dell died :-( May it rest in peace. So I bought the cheapest good machine I could find, or maybe the best cheap machine - which turned out to be a HP-2000. Memory was on sale, so I got an extra 4G.

Specs:
AMD E300 1.3 GHz processor.
6GB Ram
320GB Hard Drive
Ralink RT5390 Wireless
ATI Technologies Inc AMD Radeon HD 6310 GraphicsATI
ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)

Installing Linux has proven problematic.
