“Sometimes it’s easy to forget that we all had to start
somewhere with Linux. When you’re not used to the way it works, or
the kind of concepts involved, Linux can seem like a foreign
language.

“If you’re struggling with free software, or if you know someone
who needs help making the switch to Linux, we hope this feature
will help.

“Fedora is a great choice of distribution to start with. It’s
easy to install and just as easy to use. It’s one of the most
well-respected distributions available, and has a very tight
relationship with its parent and chief sponsor, Red Hat.”
