there are many repeated topics in the forum and I see many new topics being
created that have been discussed previously that's diminishes the quality
of the posts.
Just search

I personally advise Hostgator for hosting. They are really professional,
support is perfect and uptime very good. Go to hostgator_dot_com and use
"onecentcoupons" coupon code. You get first month just for free which is
good deal.

Real nice website. I've been using Linux (Ubuntu,SUSE, Mint and a few
others) for a couple of years now and still don't know all there is to
know. Thanks to your website I learned a couple of useful command switches
I did not know about. Got here via Stumbleupon.

Doctor Bob, I love you! Your guide is great as a fast reference about
commands :D

Bob, I was an Internet Tourbus subscriber when I was running Windows years
ago. I've since switched to Ubuntu (Edgy... Lucid) and whaddaya know,
you're a Linux guru too! I'm surprised that I don't see more messages from
former Tourbus subscribers here. Your Linux Classes will be a mainstay for
me. Thanks for your great work!

I picked up Linux for my 2nd attempt about 2 weeks ago and was struggling
even after reading about every manual available on my install. I learned
more in a few hrs here than I have learned ANYWHERE else on the web or in
the stuffy overly complex manuals on the install. I don't know how to thank
you enough! If you had a paypal donate button I would definately throw some
cash your way. The hrs and frustration you saved me is beyond
comprehension. Side question, did you live in Rochester, NY at all while
workin at IBM?
rajesh ( 13 Aug 2010, 10:30)

Georgia, Linux is a replacement for Windows. See
//lowfatlinux.com/linux-what-is.html for more info.
Georgia Maples ( 30 Apr 2010, 12:29)
Just exactly what is Linux? Is it a computer program? I have an HP
running Windows XP, SP3,; can I use the Linux on my computer. What benefit
would it be to me?
Thank you.

hi there,im 27, phillipines, im new to linux, and no any single background
about it, but i have dualboot my drive with BT3 and windows, and have
ubuntu installed in virtual bow, maybe out of curiosity...
thanks for this tutorial
it really helps me a lot to understand some about linux, although some are
difficult for me to comprehend, i guess maybe for now...
anyway thanks a lot

@Tejas - Linux is just an implementation of unix. There are others, such
as BSD.
Tejas ( 10 Apr 2010, 00:34)
Between Linux and Unix which one would you choose at the end of the day,
and why?
Thanks.
Bob Rankin ( 25 Mar 2010, 14:42)
@madhu - I think I know the problem. You're looking at the keyboard
instead of the screen?

i want Linux lerning tutorial plsssssssssss
Rod Gustafson ( 09 Mar 2010, 09:53)
I remember my TI-58. I mowed lawns all summer to get the $300 I needed to
buy it. I also clearly recall typing in formulas so I could "cheat" in
school with it. How I wish it didn't lose its memory when the battery died!
Funny (and ironic) -- that memory loss thing helped me learn those formulas
forever! P.S. Your Linux tutorial is the missing guide I have been
searching for. Thanks!
Bob Rankin ( 25 Feb 2010, 08:36)
Nothing! I learned programming in high school, and then went to college
for a Computer Science degree.
Dennis ( 25 Feb 2010, 08:03)
Hi, Bob
WHat did you studied before the computing career?
Bob Rankin ( 17 Feb 2010, 22:55)
I do have fond memories, but I no longer own stock. :-)

The Linux guide is right here! You're looking at it...
Kumar ( 02 Feb 2010, 02:09)
I need your guide regarding linux, Where i can get you online at what time
?
ABDUL GANI ( 30 Jan 2010, 01:31)
i want linux tutorial
I welcome your comments. However... I am puzzled by many people
who say "Please send me the Linux tutorial." This website *is* your Linux Tutorial! Read everything here, learn
all you can, ask questions if you like. But don't ask me to send what you already have. :-)
NO SPAM! If you post garbage, it will be deleted, and you will be banned.

to both gurus and grandmas. I think everybody with an email address should be getting
Tourbus. :-)
