1. Don't "play Linux", many people will feel very confused when using Linux, which one is released? Is there anything else? How to upgrade so fast! Why are you so unstable! Whenever you encounter a new software, he wants to try. Whenever the new version appears, he updates, then use the mouse to select the program never seen in the new menu to use. In fact, you use Linux for Linux, without finding the right reason to use Linux. You first have to express the purpose of using the computer, you use it to solve your actual problem, not to learn to install the operating system, not to test which version is easy to use, not "catching the trend", not because your hard drive is too Big, you want to share more space. If you don't know what you should do after starting your computer, you should not use your computer first, because you may have something more important. 2, many people don't have to use Linux when you start with Linux, it is always a good release version of this better than yourself, I always doubt that I will lose support in the future, I have to change anything else. So many people today are redhat, and I will changed to Debian tomorrow, and I was gentoo, ... and even some people put two versions of Linux on a machine, and then relatively good. In fact, you don't have to do this completely, any issuance, as long as you are familiar, you are almost anything above the way. You often hear that Debian's update is fast than Redhat, which is more redhat, but you can update it quickly than debian, and download the source code directly to the primary site of the program you need. Debian, Turbolinux, SUSE, Redhat, Gentoo, ... any version is good. 3, don't be "Missionary", many people constantly causing discussions such as "Linux vs. windows" in the discussion area, and even the face red ear, this is not necessary. Because everyone needs different, life is different, you can't get a conclusion. We need to respect the choices of others, this is what you need to remind yourself before any discussions on tools. Faced with something that is easy to argue: Word and Tex; Emacs and Vim; Maxima, Mathematica and MAPLE; GNOME, FVWM and KDE; MUTT and PINE ... must be calm. What you need to care is not your tool, but what you did using it. Exquisite Linux does not explain any problem because it is just a tool. If you use Windows to complete your task well, then you don't have time to get time to familiarize yourself with Linux. Until one day you found a task only if Linux was only completed, it was not too late, because the linux of Linux around you will be happy to help you. It is not necessary to oppose the other. The world needs diversity, and people need fun. Reproducing others with your own interests, you will ruin all interest. I don't have to argue for this. Don't do "missionaries"! Do you say that I am in "mission" now?冤 啊 ~ 4, directly from the source installer, many people put the latest source code, waiting for someone to help him make RPM, DEB can install. I said why you don't have to compile the source code, so that you have much higher than RPM, there are many new features, but there is no annoying dependency. But he said: "If I use the source code to build and install, it is inconvenient when I uninstall it, I will leave a lot of garbage.
"Why didn't you install it yet? Do you think of uninstallation? Don't you know what this program is used? You should change the procedure to find a program to try, and you should first understand the same functionality, listen Other people's opinions, see what the strengths and shortcomings are all, then pick a program that is best for you. Compile the installer from the source code, not only more suitable for your own machine than you, and they usually install / USR / local directory, so if you change the hard drive reloading system, you can also copy the procedures under the previous / usr / local. My / usr / local has a lot of programs, you think I have a new machine to reinstall, then how much time it takes? In fact, I have passed them to a new machine through the Internet, and then go out to have dinner, I will get another touch. Linux machine. What should I do if I do to uninstall Make Install? The answer is directly deleted. Don't think that the procedure directly delete the program will leave garbage, causing "system unstable". (BTW: Who teaches you? Hehe Make Install is nothing more than putting the executable / usr / local / bin, put some of the function libraries in / usr / local / lib, putting the data file in / usr / local / share Next it its own directory You can't delete these things, you won't leave garbage, even if you really leave a little file, you can't delete it, you can't cause system unstable. UNIX is so simple but there are several programs It is not recommended to install from the source code, they are Mozilla, Open Office, ... they compile yourself when you have a few G's space and a few hours, this cost I think it is not worth it, because you can't get it from compilation More benefits, it is better to install the compiled version directly. 5, don't blindly upgrade I don't know if this is a psychological effect, some people see the big version number, I will try to change into that. Many people's RedHat The configuration is very comfortable, but once redhat releases a new version, they will download it as soon as possible, then choose the upgrade installation. The result is a lot of confidential configuration files that have been modified. The new software brings The new problem, for example, once my RXVT upgrade to 2.7.8, I conflict with Minichinput, upgrade to Redhat 8.0, I found that XMMS can not be used by the default, XFree86's XTT module has new bugs on I810. It caused Mozilla to suddenly exit. If you have already configured everything, don't upgrade the whole, this will waste you a lot of time. ,not worth it. If needed, you can upgrade some parts, such as kernel, glibc, gcc, xfree86, ... using UNIX classic program is generally easy to transplant on many UNIX, Bash, Vim, Emacs, MUTT, FVWM, XTERM, are like this. If you use these programs, you can also install it on the workstation of Sun, HP, ..., so that you are almost exactly the same in various models! You don't need to use CDE on Sun on Sun, replace it with KDE on the PC, and you can get a FVWM above, you can get a consistent interface with the same configuration file. Most of these programs have been tested, and they have been developed by many people. They are fully functional, and all kinds of situations are considered everything, absolutely your help.
