I would like to remind you, that linux is command line OS which based on
the unix and minix operating systems, knowing the GUI interface without
the command line interface, is like learning to run, when you dont even
know how to walk.
For people who wants to install linux on theire machine, installing linux
can be very simple, but it really take time to configure the machine for your
needs, so before runing to a meeting, and install linux, think that you will
have to spend a lot of your free time to configure linux, and just to know
how to K programming Gui, isnt enought, i suggest you to read manuals,
books, and articles about linux, read alot and you will finally make your
decision, linux was never nice to the newcomers, and will not be in the
close futer.
if you dont like the command line interface, you shouldn't install linux,
BTW: before you will install linux, you have to be familiar with the concepts
and slang used by linux and unix hackers, take some courses about computers
(not how to use word, or any other microsoft shits) and try to find out what
are the weaknesses in linux (Hebrew support, Games etc...), and what is linux
strong side (Power, runing webservers etc...).
if you are a serious programmer, linux can be your dream, or your nightmare,
and i encourge you not to learn Visual Basic or either Delphy, they are
both Platform limited, so you cant run them on other os than one of microsoft
products (monopol...).
You can find information about the topics i mentioned before, on the web (use
google to find specific information).
Hope i helped...
