Getting Started with Linux For the young - to begin try own Linux installation and asked a friend who was steeped Linux. After that you can also follow courses to deepen Linux Linux material. And then is to find the experiences of troubleshooting on Linux. All of the above certainly requires determination and courage, as most beginners who want to learn Linux collided with a few things. For example with the installation, there are still many who are reluctant and even afraid to start installing Linux on his computer. But you can use software such as VirtualBox is free to start, even with your computer's RAM minimum requirement I would suggest is 1 GB.
The main thing to remember is that Linux is different. There is lots to learn, so you need some patience and perseverance. This part assumes you have an install CD with some version of Linux on it. Most can be installed directly from the CD if you want. You can do this by setting your BIOS with an option to boot from the CD. If you can't do this, you will need to get or make a boot floppy. Usually there are utility programs on the CD, usually "rawrite" that can be used to make a boot disk from a DOS environment. Some systems also require a root disk to be made.
To make a boot floppy from the Redhat CD, issue the below commands. The example assumes your CD is on drive D and you are running DOS.
Important Note!!
I have noticed many times that when people install Linux they will not have the capabilities they want or may get error messages when their system starts. Many distributions allow the following choices or more for their installations:

- Workstation - For no or minimal networking. Only client services is installed, so if you use this installation, don't expect to telnet to your system since the service was not installed. Use this installation if you don't have a network card or will not want to provide any network services.
- Server - Installs most packages.
- Custom - Allows you to select the packages you want to install.
