Linux is easy once you know it
John McClure got into Linux when a friend needed help installing something called ‘Red Hat’ back in 1998. That makes him an expert in my book because I only got serious about Linux a year ago. He makes an excellent point about the ease of using Linux that fits right in with the theme of this website:
From: Linux is easy once you know it
Yes my friends, Linux is so simple, a trained monkey with nimble fingers and a knack for UNIX mainframes could figure it out in several years randomly typing on a keyboard. Er, Linux is so simple, once you’ve gotten the basics down, you’re in for good. Rather than being something silly, that statement is all about how simple Linux is to manage.
Even Klingon and French are easy once you know them, it’s the learning curve that causes so much pain. Brilliant people have attempted Linux and been frightened into a fetal position. It’s for this reason that I hope Linux beginners don’t get intimidated by their new OS. It’s going to be hard at first, really. As John puts it, however, “once you’ve got the basics down, you’re in for good” - that means you’ll be hooked ;-)
