Linux for cheap

Expand Post »
Any one looking to get into linux and not wanting to spend a bunch, but still getting the latest distro's, have a look here: www.edmunds-enterprises.com

They are quick and I have been very happy with the service.

I might add that most of the books I use for Linux come from the bargain bin, $1-$3.

Re: Linux for cheap

Many credible resources exist online.

http://tldp.org comes to mind. Some of it may be a bit dated, but lots of help is also available on IRC and various newsgroups.

I always tell my friends, "everything is free on the net, as long as you have the patience to look for it."

And while we are on the subject, if you run KDE, simply type man: or info: into the Konqueror address bar, followed by whatever, to access those files. You can search from there, as well.

Another good Linux portal is http://www.YoLinux.com
