It is really sweating, as a software developer of a decade of working age, the understanding of Linux is limited to heard that it is an open source operating system. Now because of the need, use Linux. From Windows Turning to Linux, encounter There is a lot of trouble. This is not, from the installation to use, there is no smoothness. Well, there is an Internet. If you encounter problems, I will go online to find an answer, and I can finally sit here. I will write some words under Linux. 1. Preparing to work in my home, there is a idle computer, CPU CII800, 192M SDRAM, hard disk 12g, because later configuring a Lenovo machine, there is no one in this machine. Just give me a test product. The Linux version I installed is Redhat 9. There is nothing special for the selection of Linux version, because it is just that the company has Redhat 9 installation CD, it is really scared, there is 3CD. I checked it online, if you installed if you installed Choose the development workstation option, you need 2.1G hard disk space, and Windows has a ratio, but this 2.1G includes all, what you need is installed. Is this good or bad? LINUX is never used Everything is installed, I don't know. But it is better than Windows, it is necessary to install such software. It is bad, the function is judged by the user. The words retired, because I Computer hardware is a more old hardware. According to others' experience, Linux supports the old hardware, so it is not prepared, but directly starts to install RedHat 9. The top of my PC has installed a Windows 2000 operating system because there is no bottom to Linux, so I decided to retain Windows 2000, install dual system. The original system is divided into three districts, and the E disk has about 4.5g, and it is decided to install Linux on this partition. About this partition processing, I have been processed in the Linux installer, delete the partition directly, and then built a SWAP partition and a '/' partition (like the root partition, uncertain) In general, the installation process is smooth. At first I chose a graphic installation method, as a Windows programmer, it is difficult to endure the character interface. With the graphical interface, follow the default installation to install it step by step. The entire installation process is about 40 minutes to write here today, sleep.
