Linux For Beginners

What is Linux?
Linux is an operating system — very much like UNIX BUT NOT UNIX first released 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds.Linux is, in simplest terms, an operating system.It is the software on a computer that enables applications and the computer operator to access the devices on the computer to perform desired functions.
The operating system (OS) relays instructions from an application to, for instance, the computer’s processor.The processor performs the instructed task, then sends the results back to the application via the operating system
I will primarily focus on Linux, especially the Ubuntu Backtrack Fedora Distro, which I use as my primary OS on my desktop. Also will have quite a lot on Open Source Software (OSS), Asterisk-Opne Source Telephony, Nteworking , Programming and Technology related news, reviews, trends and what’s up with it today.
Where is Linux?
One of the most noted properties of Linux is where it can be used.
Windows and OS X are predominantly found on personal computing devices such as desktop and laptop computers.Other operating systems, such as Symbian, are found on small devices such as phones and PDAs, while mainframes and supercomputers found in major academic and corporate labs use specialized operating systems such as AS/400 and the Cray OS.



what is Gnome or kde ?
Acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment. (Pronounced guh-nome.) KDE is simply KDE :)And it is a graphical user interface (GUI) and set of computer desktop applications for users of the Linux computer operating system. It’s intended to make a Linux operating system easy to use for non-programmers and generally corresponds to the Windows desktop interface and its most common set of applications. In fact, GNOME allows the user to select one of several desktop appearances. With GNOME, the user interface can, for example, be made to look like Windows 98 or like Mac OS.
The main objective of GNOME and KDE is to provide a user-friendly suite of applications and an easy-to-use desktop.

This is How GNOME LOOKS LIKE
