Admin There r enough distros available. And I don’t have a computer that I can use personally. (‘coz its at home). There are 2 ways I can go about this:
I can buy a linux book (any distro) with a setup cd along with it. Next, I would need a system for myself. I can buy a laptop too, if I wanted to. But wat system config would I need? Can I buy a laptop second hand that is fast and efficient? The book that I had in mind is the Linux Bible. Because it has about 10 distros and enough information about how 2 use them. I wud want a cheap laptop! Is this a feasible idea?
What does the above alternative offer – learning wise?
The 2nd alternative, I could easily go 2 some training institute and learn. But in this case I won’t b having a system. I’d hve 2 work in the institute! And the things that I can learn r limited.
And there is no urgency…
Wat does the above alternative offer – learning wise?
Wat wud u choose – laptop/institute? Y?

Laptop, if all u want to learn is Linux I believe that if u are diligent u will learn more about it on ur own than in any structured environment. I recent ly started learning Linux and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of computing, Linux can be very complicated make sure u do ur home work b4 diving in.
I’d go for the laptop & if u haven’t checked out these links do so, they explain all.

hi buddy…
its wise to buy a second hand laptop, n then buy tht linux bible(vch is a very good buk).. n thn practice it at ur own place, with some really helpful websites at ur disposal…
i’ve myself tried this… n now i’m very comfortable at linux rather than my friends, who went to trining institutes n did learn nothin…
so i wud really advise u to carry on ur first decision…
