If you want to learn the Linux system, you have to do four things.

To learn the Linux system, beginners must do four things.

In general, most people do not have a lot of access to Linux, and the development of Linux platform is ignorant. But now the trend is more and more shows: whether as a good software developer, or the Internet, IT industry practitioners, mastering Linux is a very important livelihood resources and means, a lot of indications that this is a good addition. I will combine my years of personal experience to talk about Linux learning methods and learning should pay attention to some of the things.

Cultivate patience and cultivate interest

Interest is the best teacher, suggest you go to find out what the advantages and characteristics of Linux, understand these can improve your favor of Linux, try to understand, learn these advantages, master some of the primary "black magic", I believe your heart will slowly be captured by Linux.

Linux introduction is actually very simple, the question is whether you can have enough patience, spend the corresponding time and energy to toss, whether or not to reject the heavy-load system of this boring and omnipotent learning. If you do not want to toss can be said to learn Linux, to really understand the partition mechanism of Linux, the use of LVM is quite skilled, no more than 20 times the Linux installed experience is not accumulated, so must not be afraid of tossing.

Since everyone used windows before, I also take care of these "rookie" as much as possible. If you touch Linux for the first time, it is recommended that you try to install and run it in the virtual machine, virtual machine box, VMware Workstation, the former is open source and free, while the latter is closed and charged. I used both, the former free is good, performance than the latter, if you have enough money, you can try the genuine VMware Workstation. In addition, virtual box's installation package is very small, Windows platform installation package around 90MB, and VMware Workstation General 600MB above, Linux system download address: Http://www.linuxprobe.com/tools

About learning what Linux distribution, in fact, the basic Linux commands are universal, if you learn on a platform, on the other platform basically does not need to spend much effort to re-learn. In addition I recommend, if it is the direction of software development, Ubuntu is the first choice, it pays attention to the desktop user experience, the interface is gorgeous, updated fast, more features, in the version of the best choice of the LTS (Long term Support) version. If the server operational direction, or high performance requirements, stability, the choice of CentOS and Redhat Enterprise Linux, in the field of domestic server systems, the two Linux distribution is a very high share, the specific differences of their own search it.

Choose a book, thoroughly understand!

Next, you need to choose a book, and then concentrate on reading and absorbing it, I have seen a lot of beginners, from the beginning to buy a lot of books, or buy a lot of video, a look at this, a look at that. But what? technology has not seen the slightest progress, so beginners should remember: "Do not look at the Mountain high Mountain, different and end."

Is this the choice of books, or video? Video efficiency is really very low, compared to reading, I think the efficiency of at least half of the lower, so I suggest reading directly, or online to find a better entry post is also possible. In short, the video is not the preferred, if you have more time, it is also possible.

For even a very ordinary book, if you thoroughly understand it, for beginners will bring great progress. Therefore, it is really to choose a book, holding this not finished, do not read the determination to continue the other. On Linux Books, I recommend "Linux should learn this", this book from the most basic installation of Linux to Advanced Services deployment, and content completely 100% covered the Red Hat RHCSA+RHCE certification exam scope, so for the friend who want to obtain the certificate is also very advantageous. It is the knowledge of Linux refined, for beginners to save a lot of time, can go a lot less detours. You can first Baidu this book, look at this book directory, and then make sure you do not use this. I'm sure I won't let you down, but if you don't like it, you can choose what you like, but keep thoroughly understand it.

Three people, there will be my teacher!

Choose two or three Linux groups and add in. Usually to group friends seriously treat the group of friends, you can add, when you have a problem can ask him, in addition you ask questions, please yourself first try to solve, Baidu | Google a bit. Finally really can not solve the question again, this is to improve your ability to solve problems, the second is to cultivate independent problem-solving habits. about how to ask questions, this is also a science, do not catch a disorderly ask a pass, you put this problem in detail, you in what environment encountered what problem? What version? What is the system to try to do, or can not be solved, what are the prompts? This is a complete and efficient question. Sometimes you ask questions not people do not want you, but you ask the level is too low, want to answer you, still have to ask you a few questions to confirm some situation, how waste people's time. Everyone's time is precious, and no one is obligated to answer your questions, so ask questions about how you feel about helping people.

To learn is to fix your heart

No matter what technology, if there is no certain interest, every day facing the software interface, command line, the time will become very dull, boring, this is why the interest in the first place. After a period of time, you may be into the nirvana, perhaps to give up, I want to give up those who want to say: learning, is a practice. People tend to choose things that feel comfortable in their hearts, and want to give up at this point because you feel bored in your heart, at this time from your heart, then you will be defeated by yourself. In the process of growing up, every growth is you refuse that comfortable choice, away from the comfort zone will let you grow, in the work, always do handy work, you do not grow, if you do a little more than your ability to work, you will get growth, constantly "a little" accumulation, One day you will find your accumulation is very huge, this is the mathematics of "compound interest." Believe that those who can let themselves refuse to stay in the comfort zone of friends, will be in this study on the road, I believe you learn Linux can gain, but the premise is still: patience, perseverance, mindedness.
