<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Shafieya<br><br></div>Great to know you want to add
Linux to your skill-set. There is no substitute for practice so I
suggest you load one of the Linux distros (e.g. LinuxMINT - <a href="http://www.linuxmint.com" target="_blank">http://www.linuxmint.com</a> or Ubuntu - <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com</a>
seem to be graphical friendly) and practice as well as READ documents.
Once you start going i suggest you learn how to use linux MAN pages to
lookup info on commands and programs uage and options.<br>
<br></div>If you also have a few pennies to invest you can also take a look at Dean Davis site - <a href="http://www.linuxcbt.com" target="_blank">http://www.linuxcbt.com</a>
- to get specific self paced training guides to SUPPLEMENT READING and
PRACTICE. Dean will be happy to give out free foundation courses listed
on his site. shoot him an email on his site :)<br>
