Completely new...
Hi there,
I am completely new to this forum but it say's it's for complete newbies too
I have some questions:
1: I want to learn Linux and some basic Unix commands. Is it best to install a text version of Linux/Unix? (to get to know the commands, instead of a shell app)
2: Are there some good command-line versions of Linux available under the GPL? If so: where can they be found :?
3: Can programs like apache webserver, and MySQL and stuff even function under only a command-line setup?
<=====>
Sorry if this seems a little simple (use the search, rtfm and so on) but it is hard to find info about how to start off, mostly because you just don't know what most things mean yet.
I just want to know how to maintain a small server, and a basic Unix/Linux setup...
I would appreciate any help
