@hayprof Learning Linux as I said before could be fun, Linux is all about passion. I started with Redhat 6.0, those days where you have to manually configure your x window system, any mistake, you monitor is history. To me, I believe the Redhat version is the best place to start, there are lots of resources out there for everyone for free. It's also one of the widely used, though this point is debatable. To install Linux, you need to understand the various file systems involved, especially how to create you swap partition, it is just setting a space on the hard drive which serves as extra memory, when your RAM is fully used, the system moves some of the processes to the swap space, there by free you RAM for other high priority processes, You will also need to understand boot loader, LILO used to be the most popular loader for Linux, but since GRUB came out, it's now what must users prefer, reasons i wouldn't know. The installation of all Linux system these days is quite simple, most users, boot from CD ROM, there are wizards to guide you through the process. Couple of questions are asked, you just fill in the answers as it apply to your system. Also, there are different version of Linux for various brand of processors, for example, you will hear X86 and co, these are just type of processor, you don't need to know the details, just know your processor type and you are good to go. Sorry for making this post long, when you are ready, just post the stages you are so that we can tackle it together as you progress. Happy sailling. |

@adewaleafolabi There is one nice thing I like about open source, that is sharing (Ubuntu - South African language), anything you ever want to do, have been done by people, who are more advanced than you and I, so the key is always do search on the net, you must surely get a clue to solving your problems. Or might just bump into the solution. Back to your topic, check this link, hope it helps. http://www.arachnoid.com/linux/linux_mobile_internet_access.html |
