new linux user
Hello, everyone
I am new linux user. Yes, what I mean by that is I am totally new, never touch linux before. Only have one year experience of Solaris.
Anyway, I have to learn it because eventually I am going to use it at work.
Here is my question:
can I buy a cheap netbook (like less than 300 dollars ) and run Red Hat on it? What kind of brand I should consider or it really does't matter? Is there anyway to buy a netbook without OS so I can load Red Hat myself?
Thanks
