For the first lab we are going to select a distribution to work with. Some may think selecting a Linux distribution (operating system) would be easy, but in fact there are several hundred to choose from. So which is right for you?
The first question you have to ask yourself is, “what am I going to do with it?” This is a very important question because there are so many to pick from. If you’re just starting out and you’re not sure what you want yet, I would suggest looking at either Fedora or Ubuntu. These are two of the top distributions, and both have plenty of forms for help.
But before you download an iso (CD image file) and wipe Windows off your machine, you may want to play around with a live CD first. What’s a live CD you ask? A live CD is a full operating system on a CD-ROM!! All you have to do is to download an iso image, burn it to a CD, put the CD into your computer, and reboot. Like magic you’re running Linux in no time flat! (P.S. Fedora and Ubuntu come in Live CD’s).
Live CD’s are a great option because they give you a chance to try out different distributions without damaging your Windows operating system. Here is a great list of Linux Live CD’s.
So, for lab one, your task is to research the different Linux distributions you have to choose from and select one (or two, or three, etc). Once you do that, down load the iso files, burn your CD’s and start to explore.
(P.S. For more advanced users, you could also look into using VMware or VirtualBox to run your distribution of choice.)
For the labs we will be doing in this blog, I will be working with Fedora.
