Re: [LUG] Wanting to really put an effort to learn Linux properly.

[kevin bailey <kevin_bailey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

also suggest getting a BIG book - i.e. red hat bible etc.  they usually 
come with the corresponding version of linux on a CD inside the cover.

removable drives are useful - that way you can have one drive you are 
trying to set up properly - and you can use another drive for 
experimenting on.

i found red hat and mandrake good for learning from - but if possible 
try to use debian as soon as poss - not only is the package managment 
far superior - but the install is cleaner and all the applications are 
ususally more reliable.
