Linux for Beginners - This theme is designed for beginners, and is written so that it does not need for some kind of particular knowledge, especially when it comes to Linux. Basically we can say that we have written for someone who knows how to use Windows and technically gifted enough to know itself to install the software. We have also assumed that Linux will be installed independently on a blank disc. Although it is possible to configure a dual boot Windows and Linux, in practice it can often complicate and detailed explanation of the process is beyond the scope of our topic.
How you would not drowned sheets of text, but in this introductory part, written in the form of questions and answers. Well first things first …

Since the new kernel was free and very fast (a year later), released under the GNU GPL(General Public License), which makes it open to modification, sharing and studying, the software community willingly accepted him as an interesting alternative to the then dominant operating systems based on UNIX kernel or Windows NT.
Over time, Linux due to its characteristics of openness and spread to many other platforms, so it now except on standard PCs and servers are found in a number of different devices, from industrial controllers to smart TVs.
