Well all this talk about Linux has made me think about it a lot. So then I ask myself, "I am running Windows. Why? I love Linux, why the hell am I not using that? I have this sorry excuse of Windows on my computer using Lite Step. Argh what am I doing to myself..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So after this kind of reasoning I have decided to take the 'good computer' and make it into my sweet little linux box. So that will mean 1/5 of the computers in the house will be on Windows woohoo I have almost converted the whole family, come on sister go over to the dark side ^_^

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So anyways I was wondering what Distro. Then I was thinking hmm what about LFS. LFS would be a learning experiance. When it comes to Linux I am such a newbie ya I have used it and ya I have done simple things like run apache and that sort of thing. Ya I have had problems, but I have not really learned what it means to have the Linux Kernel with you and how to associate things with the Kernel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So mabye someone with more experience then I would suggest some way to learn what the Linux Kernel really is, like how it really works. My goals are simple, learn and do things in the proccess. If I do LFS and Beyond LFS that may teach me a lot about how to build a system from scratch but in the end it does not teach me how the kernel thinks. I wanna know how it thinks so ya please help. Need some direction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any Gurus out there?

I seriously doubt you'll find anyone here with that kind of experience, you'd be better off trying some real Linux forums or something like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, Debian is good enough for me, though I am about to setup my old comp to function as my firewall/webserver/cvs-server, and I'm considering using a more specialized distro for that. Though if I find a guide for debian, I'll definitely use it - I love apt-get to death :)

You should try Linux b4 switching.
