Linux Learning Guide

The first time you learn Linux, try it out in a virtual machine. VM I recommend virtual box, I don't advocate using VMS, because VMS are closed-source, and are charged, and virtual box is small, the installation package for Windows platform is around 80MB.

Linux distributions are not linux,linux only refer to the operating system kernel:
My recommended distribution is as follows: The recommended use of CentOS
UBUNTU is suitable for pure rookie, the pursuit of stable official support, weak system stability requirements, like the latest applications, relatively less like tossing developers.
Debian, relative to Ubuntu difficult distribution, highlighting the characteristics of a stable and easy-to-use package management system, the drawback is that enterprise support is insufficient for community development drive.
Arch, the pursuit of the fashion developer's first choice, the advantage is that the package update is quite fast, seamless upgrade, one installation can always work, no version of the concept, such as Ubuntu, said the professional point called rolling upgrade, keep your system must be up to date. The shortcomings are obviously easy to see and unstable. Installing the configuration at the same time is a bit more troublesome than Debian.
Gentoo, relative to the arch of difficult, test the user's comprehensive level, from the system installation to fine-tuning, the kernel compiles all hands-on, is a master and hackers show their technical means, on-demand configuration to meet their requirements of the system's preferred.
Slackware is similar to Gentoo.
CentOS, the Redhat version of the community-maintained, is completely rebuilt using Redhat's source code, and compatibility with Redhat is theoretically the best. If you focus on Linux servers, such as network management, and the rack station, then CentOS is your choice. https://www.centos.org/download/, recommended download Centos-7.0-x86_64-dvd-1503-01.iso: Standard installation version, general download this can be.
LFS, the ultimate hack show tool, completely installs from source code, compiles the system. Before the installation you get only a document, you have to do is to follow the documentation of your instructions, step, a command, a package to build your Linux, completely by your own control, want what is what. If you make a LFS and prove that your Linux skills are quite good, if you can take LFS document ingenious, and then start porting Linux from source code to embedded system, I dare say that Chinese enterprises you can mix well.
