[Basic knowledge] One of the Linux novice series _unix Linux

　　To Linux Novice [one of series]

You have never used Windows, never contacted Unix, only know to drag a file to drag, only know the hard drive is C:\ D:\ E:\ has never studied the excessive area table, may use VC to compile a program, very accustomed to its integration environment ....

One day, for whatever reason, maybe it's the boast of a journalist who doesn't know what memory and hard drives are in the papers, or the boss asked you to use it as a project, or the students have you do not feel very dirt, or you heard that the experience of finding a job has a greater hope .... Anyway, you want to install a Linux on your own machine. OK, this article is for you, because from now on you will have a pile of questions you will find that the experience of computers previously acquired in Windows seems to be completely useless. You would think "Linux is so troublesome". You have the guts to never drive a car but have to take it apart and repair it. OK, this article is written for you.

Why to learn Linux. In fact, you don't have to learn Linux, if you just want to use a computer to make it work, such as typing, typesetting, statistics and so more efficient, Linux can not. Windows, or I recommend Windows 2000 is your best choice, it is very good for Chinese support, very stable, there are countless applications, and if you take risks, you can also use pirated, free. Linux will cause you a lot of trouble, installation will cause system data loss, unable to drive the network card/sound card/display card/monitor, unable to configure Chinese, graphics interface speed slow, and so on. What used to be easy to do on windows, such as modifying the display frequency or installing a new NIC driver, became as annoying as getting you to go back to the freshman computer principle class on Linux. Oh, what is the advantage of Linux? You'll ask. In fact, Linux is no good, from the use of the point of view, its only advantage is that it is our own, and Windows is good, Microsoft's. "What's going to happen?" "You may ask again." The difference is that Linux allows you to study it, and by using Linux you can get a deeper understanding of the computer ... And not just a fully automatic box. The computer is a very magical thing, you may be to those who write Windows is very worship (I am), or for those who can invent a better algorithm more secure operating system hacker (sorry, remote attack system is not hacker) very worship, then you should know, Sitting in front of a Windows machine all day long with the mouse dragging may give you a good typist's salary, but you can never get into the world of real computers--to be a hacker of free thought, or you can only be a user of Windows forever ... There's nothing wrong with it, and a lot of leaders don't have computers--and there's no chance of writing a Windows yourself.

A less-than-good result is that when the world is full of Windows slaves, we're going to have to pay a lot more for this technology from Microsoft, and in some societies we call this exploitation.

Speaking so much, it is said that carrots can not be cut at both ends, at least for now. What to think of others to you do a good job, the system installation all the way to return, hardware configuration point two mouse, sorry, please use Windows 2000. If you're ready for all of this, then watch it.
