Which flavour?
Hi folks,
First post so be gentle with me
I've decided it's about time I got down and dirty with Unix, so have jumped in at the deep end and am downloading Redhat as an option to Win2000 on my Intel machine. Should be fun (!), but if I remember right there's options of which type of Linux..Gnome, KDE (?) etc.
The question is, what do people recommend for a complete beginner with Unix who is very familiar with general PC/computer technology? And do people think I'm doing the right thing starting with Redhat as opposed to other flavours/
is Linux a bad starting point full stop?
Cheers,
Natalie

ANKI(1) General Commands Manual ANKI(1)
NAME
anki - flashcard program for language learning
DESCRIPTION
Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently
as possible. To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that information to optimally schedule review times. With a
minimal amount of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember, making study more productive, and more fun.
Anki is based on a theory called spaced repetition. In simple terms, it means that each time you review some material, you should wait
longer than last time before reviewing it again. This maximizes the time spent studying difficult material and minimizes the time spent
reviewing things you already know. The concept is simple, but the vast majority of memory trainers and flashcard programs out there either
avoid the concept all together, or implement inflexible and suboptimal methods that were originally designed for pen and paper.
Anki's primary target is people studying Japanese, and Japanese native speakers studying English. However, it can be used to remember any-
thing at all, and there are some users who are studying Chinese and possibly other languages with it.
OPTIONS
anki does not take command line options. Its interface is entirely graphical.
