A Windows userâs guide to Linux

| This is your first step. Linux is not homogeneous like Windows or OS X. Linux 
| comes in a range of different versions, called âdistributionsâ. The majority 
| of the underlying code in each of these distributions is the same with most of 
| the differences being in the interface and some of the management tools. 
| Choosing the right distribution can be tricky, especially as there are 
| literally hundreds of versions of Linux available. Fortunately most of those 
| you can forget about, for now. What you need is an easy to use version of 
| Linux, which leaves you with a short-list of Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, 
| Mandriva and Linux Mint. Picking one of these will make you life easier as 
| they are all easy to install and pretty simple to maintain.

So basically, Linux is like the cars industry. Apple and Microsoft make
only Soviet Lada.
