A Brief Guide to Installing Linux?
These days, almost everyone has a personal computer or a laptop. Many of those use Windows for the operating system. Technology has advanced, however, and Windows is no longer the only option. Some people prefer to use Linux as an operating system. Linux is an open source operating system. That means that it’s written in a language that is not proprietary and available to anyone. One advantage of this is that anyone knowledgeable can make improvements and upgrades. Another huge advantage is that Linux can be downloaded and installed free of charge. There are a few things needed to install Linux. First, a high speed internet connection is highly recommended. A version of Linux will need to be downloaded to the hard drive. Without a fast internet connection, that download can take a long time and get interrupted. Potentially, it can be very frustrating. Another needed component is a version of Linux. Since Linux is open source, there are many different versions available today. Most of these are available free of charge, although some have better technical support than other. If the user is new to Linux, a version that provides good documentation and technical support is recommended. Next, an ISO image is required. An ISO file will contain a compressed version of the Linux data files. Part of the process of installing Linux will be un-compressing these files. The ISO file will be burned to a CD or DVD. The user will then boot to this CD or DVD to begin the install of Linux. This disk, along with the documentation should be enough to get the user started installing Linux. Once the documentation has been read, the user should put the ISO CD or DVD into the appropriate drive and boot to it. One thing to keep in mind is that this process will overwrite any operating system that is already on the computer. If the user does not want to overwrite their current operating system, they should partition the hard drive before beginning this process. Once Linux is installed, the computer will now use it as the operating system. There are many resources for information and technical support available on the internet. If the user has any technical issues, they can most likely be resolved by referring to a trusted Linux site.
