“So, you want to learn Linux? Well, it is a rewarding
experience, but it can be complex at times. Coming to Linux from an
OS like Windows requires you to learn not only how to operate, but
how to understand what is going on in your computer. Many
people have a good understanding of the underlying DOS directory
structure and how it operates, so switching between OS’s such as
NT, W95, and W98 are relatively seamless. However, Linux
demonstrates a new way of thinking for many users.“
“The purpose of this document, is aimed at introducing users to
this new way of thinking. Once you understand the basics of how
files are manipulated and stored; how devices are used etc, you
will find that tasks in Linux become a lot more straightforward.
This is not a comprehensive documentation, as whole textbooks have
been published on this topic, although some resources on the topic
are included.”
