Linux newbie help please

CF93 · 8 Mar 2007 at 10:23

Thinking of trying Ubuntu as I've now got a spare pc lying about doing nowt, but apart from installing Mandrake a few years ago then never actually using it, I'm a complete Linux newb.

Anyone got any decent help/tutorial sites that can explain the basics they could post? Ta.

Will do, ta.

Was thinking slightly more generally than that though, ie how Linux works generally rather than a specific distro (probably should have said that to start with really!)

(Just to get an idea of how it works so if I decided to try out others or do something slightly more complicated than surf the net I might know what to do!)

Heh, don't blame me if you get fired

And I know I won't get fired cause we're all being made redundant, there's no work to do anyway, and we're all getting paid for it

Good links - thanks for the info guys!
