Hi there,
I have heard so much about Unix but still know so little. 'Its an operating system that puts me in control' is about as far as i got.
What are the potentials?
What would i need to do to my windows Xp laptop to run Unix?
What kind of software and books should i be looking at?
How much experience do i need to be any good at it?
Are there any courses out there that one could attend to be a 'GURU"?
I need help please and was told i could find answers here. Please reply asap:icon_cool:
