10+ mistakes Linux newbies make

| 1: Assuming they are using Windows
| 
| Although this might seem way too obvious, itâs 
| not. The average user has no idea there are 
| even different operating systems to be had. In 
| fact, most average users couldnât discern 
| Windows XP from Vista from 7 (unless they are 
| certain Windows 7 was âtheir ideaâ). Because of 
| this, new users might believe that everything 
| works (or doesnât work, as the case may be) as 
| it does in Windows. Make your end users aware 
| that they are using a different operating 
| system â and that it works differently.

Who Cares About Linux on the PS3?

| I could build my own computer with truly kick 
| ass components and enjoy Linux far more than 
| with Sonyâs already aging and relatively puny 
| videogame console. And I could easily swap out 
| older components for newer components, thus 
| making a DIY box last far longer than a silly 
| videogame console.

Things to know before Replacing Windows by Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| There is no registry in Linux
|
| In windows there is the registry, the
| registry is a database which keeps all your
| settings. If you want to change anything not
| in a menu (or in a menu) you need to use the
| regedit program Or a script.
|
| In Linux there is no such thing as a
| registry.
|
| In Linux everything is a file
|
| All configurations are in text files, and
| everything in Linux is treated as a file.
| This is a much simpler approach which makes
| it very easy to change things in Linux. In
| Linux even your filesystem itself can be
| viewed as a file.
