The learning guidance method is multi-handed, brain, and often compares with Windows when learning. I suggest you install RedHat Linux first, then practice how to configure it, how to use the Linux command, how to do it under X-Windows, how to install the application under Linux, how to get online, edit the document, play multimedia file, play games, etc. . There is only one way to get started up, that is, you can do it, see if you can finish the work above. 2, what is the difference between Linux and WINDOWS? Windows is a graphical interface, Linux Similar to the previous DOS, which is a text interface. If you run the graphical interface program X-Windows, Linux also displays the graphical interface, and has the start menu, desktop, icon, etc. Windows has a MS-DOS mode that operates a computer by entering a DOS command in this mode; and Linux is similar to Windows, there is also a command mode. If you do not execute X-Windows after Linux, you will be in a command mode. Operate your computer. In addition, there are also many applications on Linux. After installing these software, you can edit documents, images, play games, internet, play multimedia files, etc. on Linux. However, Linux's partition format and directory structure, which is very different from Windows, and the installation of application software is also different. 3. Precautions when installing Linux, determine which partition is installed in the installation, Linux also has system partitions and SWAP partitions (Similar to Windows virtual partitions, exchanging files) two partitions. Since Linux supported partition format is different from the Windows partition format, if Linux is installed, Windows can continue to use, Linux should be installed on the last extension partition of the hard disk partition; second Linux's SWAP partition must guarantee 60MB, system partition Minimize 240MB; in addition to simultaneous PC hardware information, especially display information, this will directly determine the effect of the graphical interface program; when entering commands in installation, please pay attention to case . 4. Master Linux directory structure Linux is different from Windows, and you can't see Linux directory in Windows. In turn, Linux also can't see the directory under Windows. The meaning of each directory under Linux is as follows: Directory Name Siwi / VMLinuz stored in the directory of the system kernel / bin that stores Linux's common commands in this directory, in some versions of the same directory in the root directory. / boot stored in this directory is the program to be used when the system is started. When you boot Linux with LILO, some of the information / dev this directory contains all external devices used in the Linux system, which actually Is the port of accessing these external devices, you can access these external devices, which is different from accessing a file or a directory. For example, type "CD / DEV / CDROM" in the system, you can see files in the optical drive; type "CD / dev / mouse" to see the relevant files of the mouse. / CDROM This directory is empty when you just install the system, you can hang the CD-ROM file system in this directory, such as "mount / dev / cdrom / cdrom" / etc This directory stores the various types of system management Profile and subdirectories, such as network profiles, file systems, x system profiles, device configuration information, setting user information, etc. / SBIN This directory is used to store system administrators' system management programs.
