Linux

Linux is the open source code operating system everyone is talking about. There are a number of distributions available, and you should choose the one that's right for you.

	If you are looking to get into nuts, bolts, and the bleeding edge of open source technology, by all means, get Red Hat Linux.
	If you're just getting started and have been held captive by a graphic user interface (GUI) on certain operating systems and are not used to a command line environment, you might want to start with SuSE or Caldera distributions. They make installation and getting into the world of open source code applications much easier. Once you're a pro, decide if you want the great legend of Red Hat Linux.

Looking for more information? You're in luck. Amazon has a great Linux Department set up for you to peruse the Linux software, Linux books, and most importantly, a Linux Buying Guide!

So if it's open source code, why do I have to pay for it? The costs cover the CD production and documentation that accompanies the software. If you have a CD burner, and high bandwidth, you can download Linux from the internet. If you don't have both of these, then do yourself a favor and buy the CD's. They're yours and once set up you can update for free on the net.

There's a whole world of Linux waiting for you to discover. Amazon is the perfect place to shop for Linux software. The prices are better than other places, the ordering is secure, and there is a 30 day money back guarantee!
