The ultimate guide to Linux for Windows users

#1 Post by James C »

Dedoimedo's The ultimate guide to Linux for Windows users

http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ulti ... users.html
I have just realized that there is really no super-comprehensive guide on Windows versus Linux for new users, converts and those curious about migrating from their familiar world of Windows operating systems to the strange new constellation of Linux. Or at least, I have not written one such article yet. But now I have, and this shall be your one stop-shop for all questions on Linux, from here to eternity.

All right, so let's say you are a Windows user, and you have HEARD of Linux. You want to try this new technology, but the quantity of information coming towards you from enthusiastic veterans is simply overwhelming. Let's break it down.

Nice.
You should post it in beginner's help section.
Although not about puppy, it helps understanding Linux.

It came to life in 1991, by merging the Linux kernel developed by Linux Torvalds...
And his brother Linus took all the credit!
