Answers to "What systems to learn Linux"

First of all, to illustrate, my personal view-this question I have been thinking for a long time, this is not a lengthy after a simple sentence, is the best for you. In fact, many people see this sentence, in the heart already have thousands of grass mud horse in the Pentium (at least I was so), why? Because our hearts echoed such a sentence: i tmd how to know which is right for me Ah!!!

I have also been to search Baidu, also in Google searched ... See a lot of seemingly good, but the answer, I feel very bad, especially let me want to indignation is, some so-called predecessors to add such a sentence "to play Linux system, do not reload N times system is not playing!" "Who is so stipulated?" It's not a car accident that makes a car! like these articles, see can not more confusion? Can you not be afraid of Linux? Finally want to die of heart have, so just think, finally came up with my personally acceptable results, today and colleagues asked this question-"Like Linux is very good, I have been struggling to choose what version of the Linux system"!!! I'm drunk, too. So, I decided to write it and share it with you, that's all. Because someone said, "We blue Cheung Technical school students, if they do not real deal work, and Tsinghua University what is the difference?! "--it's a bit extreme, but it's very popular.

OK, that's the problem, now how many Linux ... I think, or forget it, or see how many kinds of mainstream Linux bar ~ to give you a summary.

At present the mainstream, and is you as a beginner may install, blind toss, I looked at ubuntu,centos,fedroa,opensuse,debain these kinds of, there are other kinds of miscellaneous "private customization" of Linux, I do not enumerate, you are interested, Love Biadu Baidu go, love Google on Google to go, as you like, because those don't have any meaning, at least for you, in fact, for most people also like this ...

Why is it? Because you are a beginner! You don't have anything, you pick, why pick? So I went back to the cycle of death.

With so much nonsense in mind, I'm going to give you an answer to this question-"which Linux is right for me"-in my personal experience and knowledge.

　　First of all, first answer to learn Linux what you want to learn.

What system is smooth, simple, fast, efficient, I will not pull. Why? Because it's useless. You currently want to learn Linux, there are three reasons for the following, 1, the project needs, 2, it seems very technical appearance, 3, may be helpful to me later. So, nothing else to talk about, say something tangible. Your current goal in learning Linux is simply to get used to the command line, familiarize yourself with Linux properties, and stay away from the mouse. Target set, on these three, what build server, what development programming, all put aside, urgent what AH?! I see some people, to go back and forth repeatedly loaded Linux many times the command LS, CD ... Do not grasp the focus, and the installation, but also want to install this, the future development of the Web with, to install that, the future development of Java with ... In the heart for this Linux added countless later, the results installed, what did not dry and jumped, so do, some are countless times Baidu and Google, some are directly deleted the re-get, after all, virtual machine, no pressure ~ blindly toss half a day, even weeks, only to discover, just learned a reboot ... Is this not a pit?

　　So, keep in mind that you are learning Linux now for the purpose of getting used to command line, familiar with Linux properties, away from the mouse, everything else to talk about!

Second, answer the choice of Linux system

I suggest you choose Centos-6.5-i386-minimal.iso is the simplest version of CentOS. Why? There are two reasons.

One, because CentOS is simply redhat, so you have to learn! I do not despise other versions, I am for your sake! Redhat is now the most popular enterprise-class Linux, almost enterprise uses this, the technology is good with CentOS, because CentOS is released by Redhat under the Open Source Protocol source code re-compiled once again, so you play CentOS is playing Redhat. As for what Ubuntu, and so on desktop Linux system, directly without looking! Do you want to play the desktop instead of playing Windows? Why do you have to deceive yourself? We don't care about desktop Linux after the development of how, you now learn Linux is to learn technology Ah! After the desktop Linux fire, your decades of desktop experience is not enough?!

Second, because you want to play with virtual machines, why use virtual machines? Because the novice is playing with the real machine, it is not cost-effective, in case of jumping, not to go back to the beginning there ... So the virtual machine is highly recommended! Use the virtual machine to minimize its consumption of computer hardware, of course, choose the simplest Linux, the truth is simple to understand it. (Add a point, the computer is not bad, it is best to use VMware, VirtualBox although simple, boot fast, but in the continuous operation, the effect is far less than Vmeare, VMware although the installation of large, open virtual machine compared to VirtualBox to slow, But in the subsequent continuous operation will be very smooth, VirtualBox on the comparison card)

　　To summarize, it is to install the CentOS minimal version on the virtual machine to learn the Linux command line!

If you want to give yourself a compromise ~ maybe really directly on the Linux, no desktop, boot is a black box, you really can not hand, then install a minimal Desktop version of the Redhat series of Linux (such as FEDORA+XFCE, etc., Anyway, try not to be entangled in the "can not do" thing, first to do the present ~) ... This is the end, no more!
