Weekend Project: Linux For Beginners

There is more interest in Linux than ever, and it’s not always obvious to new users where to get started. Using Linux is just like using Mac or Windows– with a pointy-clicky graphical interface. No big deal there, and Linux supplies the added bonus of an extremely powerful command-line interface, which is far more sophisticated and capable than the CLI in Max OS X and Microsoft Windows. You don’t have to use it, it’s there for anyone who wants it, and it isn’t a big deal to learn it.
